A city reborn from history, Berlin pulses with underground culture, world-class art, and an unmatched creative energy.
Berlin is a city of reinvention. Remnants of the Wall, the Brandenburg Gate, and somber Holocaust memorials sit alongside cutting-edge galleries, legendary techno clubs, and thriving street art. The city's neighborhoods each have distinct personalities -- Kreuzberg is multicultural and edgy, Mitte is polished and museum-rich, and Prenzlauer Berg is leafy and family-friendly. Cheap by Western European standards, Berlin draws artists, entrepreneurs, and travelers with its affordability, creative freedom, and a nightlife scene unmatched on the continent.
