Berlin

The fascination of Berlin

The fascination of Berlin: anyone who has ever breathed the air of Berlin, will always have one foot in the capital.

With its Reichstag, Schloss Bellevue, where the President resides, Museum Island, the avenue Unter den Linden, Alexanderplatz and the television tower, the courtyards and passages of the Hackesche Höfe, the beautiful square of Gendarmenmarkt, the grand boulevard Strasse des 17. Juni leading to the Victory Column and Tiergarten Park – one visit can never do justice to this cosmopolitan city.

Berlin means experiencing history wherever you go, shuddering at the memories of Checkpoint Charlie, shopping on Kudamm and in the famous Friedrichstrasse, marvelling at the wealth of art, culture and cabaret and enjoying the sheer abundance of restaurants, bars and cafés wherever you go.

Berlin also means movement and change. Revolutions, the building and fall of the wall, and other historical events have kept the city in suspense throughout its existence – nothing here remains the same for long. Curious shops and fascinating business ideas – every day brings changes and new encounters with the bizarre and the exciting.
