Berlin

Berlin is a sensational city with a big history. The town of Berlin was founded in the 13th century, but there are very few little vestiges from the old city partly because of the Second World War bombardments.
There are lots of things to see in Berlin, even if the majority of the buildings don’t exceed the XVIII century.

Of course, what has to be seen is the famous Brandebourg Door dating from the end of the XVIII century in a neo-classic style. Its one of the largest symbol of Berlin and can be seen on the German coins. The door sustained a lot of damage during the war and only since October 3 2002 it has been entirely renovated.
Also to be seen is the famous Reichstag palace. It was built in the XIXth century. After a fire in the beginning of the Second World War, it was restored within the German federal republic, then after the unification the contemporary style cupola was set up. You can visit the cupola which is a popular tourist attraction.















But one can also see the “new Berlin” with for example the Sony-Center; a gigantic center surmounted by a colossal cupola where one can see all the products from Sony.
There are also numerous museum like for example the Jewish Museum which recalls 2000 history of German Jews.
This is Berlin, a city that has to be seen. If you plan to go there I advise you stay at the Citadines Berlin Olivaer Platz, which is very nice.
