BERLIN - GERMANY
Berlin pulses with life; it is a city
that never sleeps. The capital of Germany is paved
with cobbled streets dating back 750 years. At
the same time, it is gloriously modern.
The action ( sights, restaurants and
nightlife) is now found in eastern Berlin. It’s
an exciting scene and, for anyone familiar with
the eastern streets of a few years ago, a slightly
unbelievable one. Much of the new city is already
in place: parliament sits in the renovated Reichstag;
Potsdamer Platz, once leveled to a field in the
Wall’s death zone, is now a bustling quarter
with 110 new shops, 30 restaurants, a theater,
a film museum, and a casino; and the city’s
world-class collection of European art has been
reunited in the Gemäldegalerie.
A fresh vibrancy is everywhere: on the
boulevards, in the art and flea markets, in the
300 trendy night-spots and the 7,000 pubs and
restaurants. Visitors can enjoy three opera houses,
two great concert halls and 35 theatres, plus
cabarets, musicals and revues. Art-lovers can
tour 170 excellent museums. this revitalized Berlin
has been called the “New York City”
of Europe.
It is a perfect time to join the excitement,
and to experience Berlin. The city has succeeded
in moving forward, and while its entire foundation
has shifted in a new direction, Berlin is again
making history.
