Berlin: what to see and when to go
Berlin is a sprawling, creative capital where history is everywhere: the Wall, the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag are a short walk from world-class museums and legendary clubs. It is green, affordable for a big capital, and each district feels like a city of its own.
