Berlin
Berlin is a vibrant Northern European city, packed with iconic sights including the Brandenburg Gate, Potsdamer Platz, the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie and the Reichstag. Its lively nightlife, café culture and diverse restaurants make it ideal for a memorable city break. After World War II, Berlin was divided into four occupation zones controlled by the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union. The Berlin Wall later separated East and West Berlin during the Cold War. Today, Potsdamer Platz is a bustling public square, around 1km south of the Brandenburg Gate, combining history with modern city life.
