History on every corner, creativity after dark
Few cities wear their history as openly as Berlin. The Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag's glass dome, the remaining stretches of the Wall at the East Side Gallery and Bernauer Strasse, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe all sit within reach. Museum Island holds five great museums, including the Altes Museum and the Neues Museum with the bust of Nefertiti. Beyond the landmarks, Berlin is a city of distinct districts like Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg, with beer gardens, döner stands and famously late clubs.
