Berlin A City That You Will Not Forget

Berlin was over 30 years 'the city of the wall' and nowadays it is home of the Parliament and Government. Everywhere around the city it is possible to find traces not only of German history but European too.

The magnificence of this metropolis takes root mostly at the architectural splendor of its buildings which represent a perfect mixture of Prussian baroque and Classicism. Among the finest examples of Berliner architecture you may find Charlotte Palace (where the Goldene Galerie is located) which was rebuild after been almost destroyed during the Second World Ward; or the Reichstag building, seat of the German Parliament.

Another example of the architectural wonders of Berlin is The Berliner Dom, an Evangelic church which dates back of 1905 and the place where the remains of some earlier members of the Prussian royal family lie. As the most representative piece of Berliner architecture there is The Brandenburg Gate, a former city gate which is considered as an icon of both Berlin and Germany and one of the most famous landmarks around the world.

None other city in the world has as many green spaces as Berlin does. In the city center you may find The Tiergarten, considered as the 'green lung' of Berlin. At southwest of the city it is located Grunewald Forest, a perfect place to enjoy some fresh air while taking a walk or a bike ride. Several lakes are also the perfect place to enjoy a wonderful time having the sun or a boat promenade. Wannsee Lake and ggelsee Lake are two recommendable options for those who look for such a recreation.

Berlin has an intense night life that satisfies all the expectations and it is always in the forefront of new trends. There is no close time for bars and discotheques and fun usually lasts all night long. Renowned places like Sage Club or Kit Kat Club or ever-new bars, lounges or clubs offer varied possibilities for every single liking and style. Most of those splendid paces are located on fashionable neighborhoods like Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain or Kreuzberg.

Berlin offers a long list of annual events, some of them very traditional and some others relatively new. Amongst the most impresive events there are the Love parade, The Berlin International Film Festival, Berlin Marathon, JazzFest Berlin, Melt Festival Ferropolis, Fete de la Musique. Definitively, options for every liking.
