Berlin, Capital city in eastern Germany
Berlin extends across 892 square kilometers, including water bodies, forests, gardens, and diverse neighborhoods distributed throughout twelve administrative districts.
The Berlin Wall, constructed in 1961, separated the city into East and West sectors until its dismantling in 1989, marking Germany's reunification.
The Museum Island contains five museums built between 1824 and 1930, displaying collections of ancient artifacts, paintings, and sculptures from different civilizations.
The Berlin Welcome Card provides unlimited access to public transportation, plus discounts at over 200 museums, theaters, restaurants, and other attractions.
The East Side Gallery transformed 1.3 kilometers of the former Berlin Wall into an outdoor art exhibition featuring 105 paintings by artists from 21 countries.

More than thirty years after its fall, the Berlin Wall still marks the city. Between the districts of Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, and Friedrichshain, traces of concrete, watchtowers, and commemorative plaques tell the story of a people's and a capital's division. Entire segments have been preserved, others transformed into memorial sites or artworks, such as at the East Side Gallery. Along the old border lines, museums and parks bring these historical remnants back to life: Checkpoint Charlie, Bernauer Straße, the Topography of Terror, and Mauerpark. Each site holds a particular silence, reflecting a time that Berlin does not erase but faces squarely. These locations invite understanding, feeling, and sometimes just remembering.
