Overview:
Berlin, Germany, The city has no definite
centre and pockets of attractions are dotted all over. The
densest array of sights lies to the east of the Brandenburg
Gate, on either side of Unter den Linden. West Berlin's centre
has less to offer. Nevertheless visitors should take a look at
the broken shard of a church, the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche,
which serves as a brutal reminder of World War II. The nearby
Zoo and Aquarium also provide a happy distraction.
Berlin has over 170
museums, making the city one of the world's prime locations for
high-calibre historical collections of art, culture and
technology, along with scientific collections.
The eyes of the
world are on this city again. People come to Berlin to become
acquainted with the reunited city. They look in vain for the
Wall and barbed wire,
the memory of the divided city is becoming ever dimmer. Even
people who live here find it difficult to trace the course of
the Wall. Within the last ten years, Berlin has visibly grown
together, not only at the reconstructed Pariser Platz or the
futuristic Potsdamer Platz.
