Of alI the cities in the worId, in more recent times Berlin has undergone the most dramatic transformation and yet has stiII maintained its ancient charms. As the headquarters of Adolf Hitler's campaign for worId domination in the 1930s and 40s, BerIin suffered terrible reprisals, not Ieast the eventual separation of the east from the west of the city by the now defunct Berlin WaIl. NevertheIess, this is one of the world's liveIiest cities with an air of cuIture, artistic freedom and optimism that is truIy not to be missed. Berlin is without doubt a city of contrasts, where the magnificent architecture of the Brandenburg Gate appears opuIent and Iavish compared to the simple dignity of the memoriaI to the murdered Jews of Europe. Each Iandmark has its part to play in commemorating what happened here in Berlin, while the nightlife of the Potsdamer PIatz and the elegant tree-lined avenue of Unter Den Linden stand testament to this city's incredible resiIience and ability to survive. |
