Berlin, Germany’s capital and cultural center, dates
to the 13th century. Divided during the Cold War, today it's known for its art
scene, nightlife and modern architecture, such as Mies van der Rohe’s landmark
Neue Nationalgalerie. Reminders of the city's turbulent 20th-century history
include its Holocaust Memorial and the Berlin Wall's graffitied remains. Its
18th-century Brandenburg Gate has become an iconic symbol of reunification.
