Berlin has so much to offer that your head might get dizzy at the sight of it. The view from the outdoor deck of the Reichstag building will be one of the things to turn you speechless: the city is provincial and global, historic and modern, bustling and serene at the same time.
No stereotype actually fits for Berlin, because every district has a character of its own. The Kurfürstendamm's hip luxury contrasts the artist district Kreuzberg substantially, the historic heart of the town is entirely different from the nearby zoo's flair (often called "Berlin's green lung"). Since the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the city has experienced a boom, a number of innovations and a lot of entrepreneurial spirit. Architects were given the greatest possible creative freedom for designing new buildings. Artists from all over the world visit Berlin to become inspired. Berlin is a busy city, but people still have time for a Currywurst (pork sausage with curry).
Berlin's night life is legendary: everyday there is constant partying in over 200 clubs. Fans of every genre of music will find something to their liking, and maybe even a new girl- or boyfriend, because rumor has it that Berlin is the "single people's capital". There are also culture vultures in Berlin, though - they come for all the museums, galleries, theaters and cabarets. To escape the culture routine, we recommend a trip into the nature, for example to the Wannsee or into the Grunewald.
