„Biste ein Berliner?
Noch nich, wat noch nich is kann ja noch werden.“
Contrasts between historical buildings and contemporary architecture, between tradition and modernity – this is what characterises the largest city in the EU. Berlin’s sights tell the story of an entire nation, from the Brandenburg Gate to the hidden treasures in Berlin’s neighbourhoods.
Berlin is a city of art, artists and museums. Over 170 museums – including the world-famous Museum Island – showcase the treasures of the world. Important orchestras – such as the internationally acclaimed Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra – and its three major opera houses with their sensational opera and ballet productions make Berlin an Eldorado for classical music lovers from all over the world. And the numerous theatres, variety shows, revue theatres and numerous cabarets provide entertainment for every taste. Large concert venues for world stars, the famous Berlin club scene or intimate jazz bars and clubs – there is a home for every taste in Berlin’s proverbial diversity. Here, everyone can be and like what they want.
The famous Kurfürstendamm, the elegant Friedrichstraße and the original boutiques around Hackesche Höfe offer countless shopping opportunities: Berlin sets the latest trends in lifestyle, music and art. Inspired by the exuberant creativity, more and more artists from all over the world are coming to Berlin, making the metropolis one of the most exciting places in Europe. Constant change characterises this lively metropolis that is bursting with energy. Berlin is never finished – Berlin is becoming. Imperfect, constantly changing, without airs and graces.
And yet Berlin is also a relaxed city with plenty of open spaces that give it room to breathe. Berlin is Germany’s greenest metropolis with extensive parks, forests and lakes. In summer, life takes place outside: in the beach bars, cafés and open-air cinemas and theatres, where the sunshine and balmy summer nights are enjoyed. The notorious “Berliner Schnauze” is also part of this relaxed attitude – direct and honest, and those who get involved soon realise that it is simply an expression of straightforward cordiality.
