Once a divided city, Berlin is born again as an energetic place attractive to the young for its ever-changing social scene and to those keen to discover more about its fascinating recent history.
Take to the rail network or the evocative trams and explore symbols of reunification such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag and museums about the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie and life behind the Iron Curtain. Check out trendy neighbourhooods, Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg, for their restaurant and café scene, dress up for the opera and the philharmonic orchestra or dance late into the night to contemporary live music.
