Ever since the Fall-of-the-Wall and the decision to return its "capital status" to the city of Berlin, the changes in this city have been virtually non-stop. The reunited city of Berlin is cool and cosmopolitan, echoing its pre-World War II prominence as a kinky capital of bohemian subculture. Late-night thrill-seekers will find plenty to choose from as jazz cafes, beer halls and Latin dance clubs have taken the place of old buildings with even older tenants. The prewar architecture and fine museums in eastern Berlin are impressive, while visitors to Potsdamer Platz will see the results of the largest reconstruction project in Europe since the war.

There is tangible energy about Berlin. Its nightlife is lively; its museums are world-class; its music, art and theatre scene are second to none. There is a sense of living history around each corner with monuments, palaces and remnants of the infamous wall, all testifying to the city?s tumultuous past. Take your time and let the spirit of this enthralling city wash over you.
