Berlin Introduction
In a Nutshell
Once divided politically and geographically, Berlin is now Europe's fastest-changing capital and a multi-ethnic hive of innovation. Unearth Berlin's historic and cultural roots in the districts of Mitte, Tiergarten, Charlottenburg and Kreuzberg.
Kurfürstendamm is a magnet for shopaholics, while Tegeler Forst to the north and Grunewald to the south-west are rural retreats. Put your finger on Berlin's 21st-century pulse in Potsdamer Platz and enjoy panoramic views of the capital from the Fernsehturm on Alexanderplatz.
