Berlin is one of the most vibrant cities in the world. A place where magnificent palaces of the past share the spotlight with World War II bunkers, graffiti art galleries and small ultramodern cafés. A city where its inhabitants really know how to enjoy the good side of life. 24 hours a day. It makes you want to be a Berliner, as President Kennedy said in a famous speech, even if it's just for a weekend or for a walk on Unter den Linden, the city's grand boulevard, which leads directly to the Brandenburg Gate, symbol of German reunification since 1989.
#justincase: The Brandenburg Gate may be the symbol of the city, but the soul is in the Landwehr Canal. 10 kilometres that run through the Tiergarten and along the districts of Kreuzberg and Neukölln. Join the locals who sit on its banks chatting and drinking healthy juices or cheap beers.
#justincase: The Museum Island brings together five major museums in one space. It's the largest concentration of culture worldwide, and you only have to cross the bridge over the Spree for your wits to soar. Another plus: under-18s don't pay, and a ticket for all five costs €18 (and there are further discounts).
