One of Europe’s most vibrant cities, Berlin is ever-changing. Now the symbol of a unified Germany, it is more than just a symbol of the old and new.

From the Brandenburg Gate, the former border between East and West, the Unter den Linden avenue draws the curious to the city’s many attractions: fascinating museums, irresistible shopping, glorious music, excellent restaurants, beautiful parks and spectacular buildings – some say the new Reichstag parliament is worth the journey alone.
