Setting Description:

Berlin is arguably Europe’s hippest city. World War II all but destroyed it, the Berlin Wall literally divided it, and it is hard not to be impressed by the regeneration that is taking place architecturally, economically and socially since 1989. Berlin has a huge diversity of cultural offerings including world class museums, world renowned orchestras, opera houses and theaters, as well as a thriving contemporary art and music scene. Whatever your taste Berlin will inspire you.
