Berlin, Germany's capital city, is a bustling metropolis that features the arts, politics, science and media. Visitors to Berlin will find an edgy city full of trendsetters and many hotel options. While not much remains of the Berlin Wall, the pieces that do are stark reminders of the difficulties that plagued this divided city throughout the Cold War.
Today, artists have transformed the Berlin Wall from a collection of drab concrete into a canvas covered by bright, vibrant and poignant displays of creativity. Visitors can tour the Reichstag Building and see where German policy makers meet to govern the country's 16 states. Visitors can also spend an evening taking in the beautiful sounds of the Berlin Philharmonic.
Getting to Berlin is easy because two airports serve the city. Visitors landing at the Berlin Tegel Airport (TXL) or the Berlin Schönefeld Airport (SXF) can make their way into the city by bus. Once visitors are in the city limits, it is easy to travel around the area using the metro.
Soccer fans can attend Bundesliga matches of Bertha HSC at Olympiastadion. Berlin is also home to a lower-tiered team, the FC Union Berlin, which plays its home games at Stadion An der Alten Försterei. The Berlin Marathon is also run here every fall.
