Berliners come to celebrate their city in this public square, which was completely destroyed during the Second World War and isolated during the Cold War.
Torched by Hitler, bombed by Britain and stormed by the Russians, the seat of German power has risen again as a symbol of a united, progressive Germany.
Escape the city and head to one of the world’s largest urban parks, which has lakes and meadows, as well as beer gardens and a variety of interesting relics.
At the foot of the famous Siebengebirge lies the beautiful city of Königswinter, the history of which is known well beyond the borders of North Rhine-Westphalia.
