Visit Berlin - home to German Football Association top-level league Bundesliga pro football team - Hertha BSC! Travel to Berlin for the counter-cultural feel, the strong sense of history, and interesting museums, as well as one of the best nightlife scenes in all of Europe. Though modern-day Berlin does acknowledge its past in many of the main tourist attractions – the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie and what remains of the Berlin Wall – areas like Mitte (in former-East Berlin) are thriving cultural centers with a vibrant arts and dance music scene that bears little resemblance to the days of Communist rule.
Berlin boasts a plethora of museums – among the best are the Paul Libeskind–designed Jewish Museum and the Egyptian Museum, which houses one of the most important collections of Egyptian artifacts in the world. Berlin is the capital of Germany and was divided by the Berlin Wall between the French, Americans, British and Soviets from 1945 to 1989.
The reunited Berlin has a lively and continually changing nightlife, fascinating museums, modern architecture, restaurants serving international cuisine, and hundreds of tempting shops and boutiques. Visit Berlin! From the Brandenburg Gate to Checkpoint Charlie and Charlottenburg Palace, delve into Berlin's fascinating past. Night people, however, just might have a problem: deciding what to do, given the dazzling choice of restaurants, clubs, concerts and more!
Berlin was divided by the Iron Curtain and the politics of the Cold War. With a rich history dating back to 1247, and over 80 galleries, it is much more.
