Berlin, Germany’s capital, dates to the 13th century. Reminders of the city’s turbulent 20th-century history include its Holocaust memorial and the Berlin Wall’s graffitied remains. Divided during the Cold War, its 18th-century Brandenburg Gate has become a symbol of reunification. The city’s also known for its art scene and modern landmarks like the gold-coloured, swoop-roofed Berliner Philharmonie, built in 1963. Since the fall of its world-renowned Wall, Berlin has busied itself with becoming one of the most stimulating creative and cultural centres in Europe – one that truly offers something for everyone. Famous as a hub for hedonists and hipsters, it’s also a magnet for history buffs and as a destination for families thanks to a wealth of green spaces such as the sprawling Tiergarten, and attractions such as zoos and dedicated children’s museums.
