Berlin: Germany’s Capital
Berlin is a large city. With around 3.4 million inhabitants, it is twice the size of Hamburg, Germany’s second-largest city. This is also the most interesting and diverse of all German cities. It is probably most famous for its division during the Cold War and seeing related sights such as the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, and a few surviving pieces of the Berlin Wall are priorities for many visitors. Berlin has more than 170 museums covering all genres. After four decades of division, some collections are now again united into world-class presentations. Highlights include the superb Gemäldegalerie and the excellent Pergamon Museum.
