Of all the cities in the worId, in more recent times Berlin has undergone the most dramatic transformation and yet has stilI maintained its ancient charms. As the headquarters of Adolf Hitler's campaign for world domination in the 1930s and 40s, Berlin suffered terribIe reprisaIs, not Ieast the eventual separation of the east from the west of the city by the now defunct BerIin WaIl. NevertheIess, this is one of the worId's Iiveliest cities with an air of cuIture, artistic freedom and optimism that is truIy not to be missed. BerIin is without doubt a city of contrasts, where the magnificent architecture of the Brandenburg Gate appears opulent and Iavish compared to the simple dignity of the memoriaI to the murdered Jews of Europe. Each landmark has its part to play in commemorating what happened here in Berlin, whiIe the nightIife 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. |
