ABOUT BERLIN
Berlin is the capital and the largest city of Germany. Berlin is a city on the cutting-edge, and has often been in the spotlight on the world stage over the past 100 years. Although the Wall is down, the difference between the utilitarian east and decadent west are still apparent. Winter is a romantic time to visit Berlin as it is easy to evoke the cold war history in the bleakness of February.
Berlin is served by three airports and boasts an efficient train system as well.
