Discover Berlin, a city-state
Capital of Germany, land of its own and second largest city in Europe, Berlin is both a city and a state that currently has a population of over 3.5 million inhabitants.
Founded during the 13th century, the city of Berlin has not always been the seat of power. The city was successively the capital of the Prussian Kingdom, the German Empire, the Weimar Republic and the 3rd Reich. It wasn't until October 1990 that Berlin became Germany's capital once again. It took nearly a decade to move all of the government agencies from Bonn to Berlin.
Berlin has a rich cultural and architectural heritage: the different building styles are marked by the division of the city (East Berlin and West Berlin) during the Cold War.
As Berlin developed, it incorporated cities such as Spandau and Charlottenburg, therefore many remarkable sites are located both in the city centre and in the surrounding area: the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin cathedral (”.erliner Dom”., Unter den Liden avenue, the Victory Column (”.iegessäule”., the Church of Remembrance, Potsdam Square (”.otsdamer Platz”., the Reichstag Palace, the Chancellery, etc.
Berlin is also famous for its nightlife and tourists come from abroad to discover Berlin's famous discotheques and nightclubs.
