Berlin, Germany

Dating to the 13th century, Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany. Historically, Berlin  was the capital of Prussia in 1871; following World War II and Germany’s division into East and  West, Bonn was briefly the capital of West Germany. Once the nation was reunified in 1990,  Berlin was formally recognized as the capital. A vote in 1991 solidified the decision; the  Bundestag relocated from Bonn to Berlin. The Brandenburg Gate, built during the reign of  Friedrich Wilhelm II in the eighteenth century, is a defining symbol of both the city’s division  and unification. 

Visitors and residents experience history in Berlin. Beyond the Reichstag Building, the  Holocaust Memorial, and the Memorial of the Berlin Wall, the Pergamonmuseum and specialty  museums on Museum Island offer insight into Middle Eastern civilizations, emphasizing  historical and cultural heritage. The Friedrichstadt-Palast features more than 100 artists on the  largest theatre stage in the world. 

Restaurants’ culinary offerings please a variety of international tastes. Diners can enjoy  traditional German fare as well as American, Italian, Chinese or countless other possibilities.  Berlin, its past and its present, represents the social progress that people aspire to.
