Berlin was divided for 28 years by the Wall which was an emblem of the Cold War. It has taken its revenge as a true vanguard of the world by becoming the favorite destination for young people thanks to the locals who are, to say the least, astonishing,  and to its truly cosmos environment.

Visiting Berlin for a weekend can be a crazy historical review! It has an ancient foundation but it definitely contains some places which are a must-see: from the remaining parts of the Wall to the Holocaust Memorial; from the imposing Brandenburg Gate which is a  symbol of reunification; and to three must-see buildings such as: the Cattaedrale, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial and the new Berlin Synagogue.
