About Berlin

Berlin is the most historically layered city in Europe and one of the most creative cities on Earth. The remnants of the Wall, the solemn Holocaust Memorial, the reunified Reichstag, history presses close. But Berlin is also electrifyingly alive: the art scene in Mitte and Kreuzberg, the weekend clubs that define modern nightlife, the food markets that make Saturday morning a ritual. It is a city that rewards curiosity at every turn.
