About Berlin

While it was synonymous with a divided Germany for so many years in the past, Berlin now symbolizes the unification of the country. Today the German Parliament sits here to discuss issues affecting the country just footsteps away from the Brandenburg Gate, a reminder of both division and unity. The German capital also makes for the perfect city destination as, even though so many landmarks were destroyed during the war, the German capital is being restored to its former glory leaving so much to do both before and after dark. view more»

Good times on a short stay

We were only here for a short time, but our stay was great. The metro is clean, easy to use, and expansive, and we were able to find a good hostel (Berlin Boutique). The zoo is awesome. Great city.

  • Insider tip:Eat at Curry 36. I'd never had curry wurst before Berlin, and now I can't get enough. You can get a good deal on the wurst, but you'd better love ketchup if you want to get fries.
