About Berlin
Germany's vibrant capital showcases resilience and creativity, where Cold War history meets cutting-edge art, technology, and family-friendly green spaces.
Berlin was founded in the 13th century and became the capital of Prussia, then unified Germany in 1871. The city endured tremendous hardship during World War II and was divided by the infamous Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1989, symbolizing the Cold War split between East and West. When the Wall fell in 1989, Berliners celebrated reunification, and the city transformed into today's dynamic, creative hub. Berlin wears its history proudly while embracing modernity and multiculturalism. Families discover a surprisingly green city with numerous parks, world-class museums (many with free entry for kids), fascinating Wall remnants, and a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. German efficiency means excellent public transport, safety, and family facilities, while the city's creative spirit brings street art, innovative playgrounds, and fun interactive museums!
