Currently, Berlin is recognized for its grand Neo-Baroque constructions, particularly at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Museum Island. You’ll delve into the city’s chronicle, right from its creation in the 13th century, to its role as the nucleus of the formidable Prussian Empire, subsequently the core of Hitler’s wartime apparatus, then a metropolis bisected by the infamous Berlin Wall during the era of the Cold War, and finally a flourishing, contemporary capital.
The metropolis candidly acknowledges its grim history.
