It's been more than two decades since the walls came down and Berlin became unified in many ways, including the pursuit of joy. Add to that an incredible array of sights that reflect not only the city's new-found swagger but also its great history..Germany's capital city is a city that balances cosmopolitan chic with a liberal undercurrent of creativity and cool. Famous landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag fascinate and the elegant Bavarian Quarter amazes.
