Berlin, Germany’s vibrant capital, is a city where layers of history meet cutting-edge creativity. Founded in the 13th century along the River Spree, Berlin has been at the heart of some of Europe’s most defining moments—from the rise and fall of Prussia, to the roaring 1920s, to its division during the Cold War and the dramatic fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Today, that turbulent past fuels a unique spirit of resilience and reinvention, making Berlin a magnet for artists, thinkers, and innovators from around the globe.

Walking through Berlin feels like stepping between centuries in minutes—you can admire the grand neoclassical columns of the Brandenburg Gate, then wander into the bold glass-and-steel structures of Potsdamer Platz. History is never far away, with poignant reminders like the East Side Gallery, where colorful murals cover a preserved stretch of the Berlin Wall, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, an unmissable site of reflection in the city center.
While in Berlin, don’t miss Museum Island, home to five world-class museums and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or take in the views from the Reichstag’s glass dome. Lose yourself in the lively neighborhoods—Kreuzberg for its street art and food scene, Prenzlauer Berg for its charming cafés and boutiques, and Mitte for a mix of historic landmarks and modern galleries. Add to your itinerary a peaceful stroll through Tiergarten, a visit to the Berlin Cathedral with its striking dome, and the atmospheric Gendarmenmarkt, often called one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. By night, Berlin’s legendary nightlife pulses with everything from underground clubs to elegant cocktail bars. It’s a city that never stops evolving—and invites you to be part of its story.
