About Berlin

Berlin, Deutschlands kreative, weltoffene Hauptstadt: Zeugnisse einer bewegten Geschichte zwischen Kunst, Parks und legendärem Nachtleben.

Das Brandenburger Tor ist das Symbol der Stadt, nahe dem glaskuppelgekrönten Reichstag und dem Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas. Reste der Berliner Mauer sind erhalten, am eindrucksvollsten in der East Side Gallery, einem langen, mit Wandbildern bedeckten Abschnitt, und an der Gedenkstätte Bernauer Straße, während der Checkpoint Charlie den berühmtesten ehemaligen Grenzübergang markiert.
