Infos zu wichtigen Locations und BoulevardBerlin- Capital of the German singles Berlin- Capital of the German singlesAfter the reunification in 1990 Berlin became residence of the Federal Government. Life in BerlinSome call it wild, colorful, and full of surprises, while others find it a little too hectic and gruff. Berlin is intriguing because it is so versatile and so multi-faceted. Differences are more extreme, conflicts more tangible, and problems larger than they are elsewhere. Yet even Berlin's contradictions are part of its appeal. Berlin is addictiveAccording to many who've tried it, Berlin is addictive. The city offers residents and visitors alike an almost inexhaustible variety of possible activities - from a multitude of everyday options to huge events like Christopher Street Day and the Carnival of Cultures. Regular sports highlights include the track and field festival ISTAF and the Berlin Marathon, which draws tens of thousands of runners every year. NightlifeDon't forget the cafes, bars, and restaurants in every price category, featuring international and local specialties. The neighborhood around Hackescher Markt is especially popular in this regard, while an impression of Berlin would be incomplete without a trip to the districts of Friedrichshain, Prenzlauer Berg or Kreuzberg. The city's night life tempts visitors with countless bars, discos, and clubs - which can stay open all night if they like - and with exhibitions and open-air events. Here, too, in the midst of the latest international trends, you can feel the city's exceptional vitality and dynamism.

Are there other places where you can sway to a reggae beat on your way to hear a German opera? Or go from a room full of Dutch Old Master paintings to one filled with cutting-edge fashion? And where else in the world can you lunch on Japanese sushi and enjoy hearty Brazilian feijoada for dinner? Welcome to New York, where the possibilities are endless. |
