Overview You can't Edit

Users Assigned: Kazmi kassengiftr

Berlin, the capital city of Germany as well as one of its 16 states, is the biggest city in Germany with a population of about 4.5 million. Hence, it is the most populous city in the European Union. Berlin is notorious for tolerance, internationalism, bustling nightlife, street art, abundant bars, clubs as well as cafés, diverse royal residences, museums and more locations of historical importance. It has an international reputation for being an extremely tolerant and liberal hub of modernity, with a wide variety of museums, architecture, and sights like the Berlin Wall.

The architecture of Berlin is absolutely diverse after its reconstruction when the World War II and cold war ended after the Berlin wall fell in 1989. You can see the symbols of various historic eras within a short period of time in the city centre, from scanty remaining antique buildings near Alexanderplatz, to the cutting-edge glass and steel edifices at Potsdamer Platz.

Due to its boisterous history, Berlin is a city with numerous, unique communities. Brandenburger Tor or Brandenburger Gate is a mark of separation at the time of the world war, but it is now a sign of German reconciliation. It was constructed after the Acropolis in Athens and was brought to fruition in 1799 as the imperial city-gate.

Germans speak English but they will like you to speak a little bit of German. You can learn some phrases that are ideal for a traveler and you will definitely make a good impression of yourself.

If there is one city in the world with lots of unique, wonderful people, it will definitely be Berlin. Every single day, millions of Berliners walk around with stories to tell. Either good or bad, the stories are worth sharing or you will enjoy taking photographs with these lovely people. No matter the diversity - young, old, black, white, tall, small, gay, straight, believer, atheist - it is very certain that they are the best people to be with.

Today, very little remains of the Wall. The city has rapidly overcome its reputation since the fall of the Wall at the end of the Cold War, and now is better known as an international hotspot for party animals and fashion shows. Whilst the city is relatively young by European standards, only dating back to the 13th century, it has garnered a reputation all of its own over the years.

Naturally, speaking German is preferred. However, French and English are also widely understood, so getting around will not be too much of an issue if you happen to be traveling from the Western parts of the world. Almost everyone under the age of 40 will be able to understand you and can converse with you fluently. After all, Berlin is the epitome of tolerance (along with Köln) and, post-wall, has attracted a lot of young people from all over the world and Europe, eager to express their intellectual selves.

Germany is well known for its engineering and you can see its history laid out in front of you with the various museums found throughout the city. There are literally dozens to choose from, depending on what you want to explore. There are also quite a few churches and private art galleries as well. There are also theatres, operas, cinemas, nightclubs, restaurants, and plenty of excitement.

There are three major universities, and the Olympic Stadium hosting soccer games, which absolutely shouldn't be missed if you happen to be someone who's never been to a European football match. However, one of the most popular things to do in Berlin is visit one of the various nightclubs; the city has a reputation as being one of the most progressive clubbing cities in Europe.

Between the food, the clubs, the museums, the architecture, the beer, and the atmosphere, it’s easy to see why this is one of the most popular destinations in Europe.

Reaching central Berlin from Schönefeld Airport via the S-Bahn isn't difficult. There's a direct link, usually line S9 from the airport. From the exit, follow the covered walk-way to the station.

The public transport network in Berlin is very accessible and comprehensive, including the Underground (U-Bahn), Train (S-Bahn), Buses, Trams and plenty of private taxis.

History You can't Edit

Users Assigned: kassengiftr

Berlin had a multicultural foundation with its encircling districts inhabited by Germanic Swabian, Burgundian tribes as well as Slavic Wends prior to Christian era and the Wends have been around since. Their present progenies are the Sorbian Slavic-language splinter groups who reside in hamlets, south-east of Berlin close to the Spree River.

Towards the commencement of the 13th century, Berlin and Colln originated on both sides of the Spree River and as the number of residents increased, the two towns came together and Berlin evolved into a focal point of commerce as well as agriculture. Due to war that ravaged the area for thirty years at the inception of the 17th century which resulted into deaths of about half of its inhabitants, the population of the area was about 10,000 up to the late 17th century.

When French Huguenots ran away from religious persecution, Berlin was there to receive them, including other religious, economic as well as other refugees. By 1701, Berlin emerged as the chief city of Prussia and by 1710; it was merged with other surrounding cities to form a bigger Berlin. By 1971, it grew to become the capital of the newly established German Reich and after some years, it evolved into a city that can boast of over one million people and this is largely due to the extremely thriving industry.

After the World War II and the erection of the wall, a lot of immigrants were wooed from Turkey to help in the booming industry sector in West Berlin while Vietnamese do most of the jobs in East Berlin. After the collapse of the wall, Berlin emerged as a cultural focal point and a lot of artists trooped to the city after reunion due to the city's low cost of living.

Berlin Weather You can't Edit

Users Assigned: kassengiftr

Berlin weather is not so distinct from many European cities with cool winter having a typical high temperature of 3°C and lows of -2°C to 0°C with snowfall occurring between December and March. Furthermore, the spring and the autumn are usually breezy and gentle with a yearly precipitation of about 570 millimeters.

The best time to visit Berlin is in summer which is usually between June and September. During this period, the typical high temperature is between 22°C and 25°C while the low temperature can be between 12°C and 14°C. Summers are warm but at times, they can be humid and it is very important for you to take note that the temperature in well-developed areas will be higher than that of the surrounding areas because the buildings in developed areas will store heat.

East vs. West

Even though the Berlin Wall has been destroyed and moving for east to West Berlin is seamless, there are still reports of the presence of some racists in the eastern part of the city and they can be violent. Racially induced crimes are not common; people are generally robbed if somebody wants something that you have.

Scammers

The common scam here is for beggars to fake injury or young women to carry babies around asking for money. The babies they use as well as the crotch are fake and it is advisable not to give them your money.

Animals

It is very important for you to watch where you step because some remote areas like Grunewald have wild boars roaming the streets. There are also many dogs in Berlin and some dog owners don't clean up after their dogs.

Beer

German beer is very strong and may be stronger than what you have in your country. You should drink responsibly to avoid getting drunk easily so that you don't spoil your trip.
