Berlin City Guide

overall city rating 84%

While it was synonymous with a divided Germany for so many years in the past, Berlin now symbolises the unification of the country. Today the German Parliament sits here to discuss issues affecting the country just footsteps away from the Brandenburg Gate, a reminder of both division and unity. The German capital also makes for the perfect city destination as, even though so many landmarks were destroyed during the war, the German capital is being restored to its former glory leaving so much to do both before and after dark.

There are some truly great things to see, in particular the reichstag and the brandenberg gate, but apart from that our group struggled. The going out scene that people hype up was hard to access as a tourist… more

    I was not impressed with Berlin at all. There is nothing special about the city except for the history behind the Berlin wall. Everything is so grey and people are rude and unhelpful. Despite the hype, Berlin is poor and ugly.
