about Berlin
Seriously damaged during World War II and divided in two parts for over 40 years, Berlin is now the focus of a huge project for reunion. After the events of Nov. 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall, the icon of Germany's dissonance, does not exist anymore and as a result Berliners are once again united. A vivid historic city and the cultural heartbeat of Germany, Berlin today attracts visitors with its majestic buildings, superb museums and theatres, urbane dining venues, lively pubs and raucous nightclubs. The landmarks of the city, among which the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedachtniskirche, Potsdamer Platz, Alexander Platz and the fashionable Kurfuerstendamm Avenue, are a major tourist trap
