Berliners like to joke that they don’t need to travel anywhere because their city is always changing. When you visit the high-energy capital of reunified Germany, you’ll understand what they mean. There’s plenty of history to absorb, of course, from the imposing Brandenburg Gate to the striking Reichstag. As you explore the streets and meet local students, however, you’ll be struck by the city’s forward-thinking spirit.
