Tourist information - Berlin
Berlin is a city of contrasts and contradictions, full of excitement and forever progressing. Perchance the latter point was the most poignant. The old and new German capital is in a constant state of flux, always turning into something not ever been of. This phenomenon has accelerated since the fall of the Wall and efforts are now concentrated upon turning Berlin into an international metropolis, the new 'capital of Europe'. In the past decade, Berlin continues to be enduring a major rebuilding process which is visible in the new cityscape around Potsdamer Platz and also the eastern city centre. But there is also a reestablishing process happening less visibly - in the minds and hearts of Berliners. The city comprises of 23 different districts, each featuring its own unique character.
