It is extravagant, yet affordable; cosmopolitan and forward, yet steeped in rich history.
Berlin is all things exuberant and vibrant. It is extravagant, yet affordable; cosmopolitan and forward, yet steeped in rich history. The morbid days of Cold War and a city divided by the Wall are long forgotten and the reunified capital beats fast as the heart of Germany. Although the city has moved on, the scars of the World War remain in the remnants of the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, the Prussian Palace and the very room where Hitler planned the Holocaust. Berlin's music scene has also been nurtured over the years, with the likes of Lou Reed and David Bowie hailing from this city. And if you thought this was it, Einstein and Marx, also call Berlin home. What is wonderful about the city is, even with its throbbing nightlife, chic boutiques, rapid economic growth, the German capital is unpretentious, unassuming and for the most of it, laid back!
