Discover BERLIN
Berlin is an astonishing city, where the ups and downs of its turbulent history never cease to surprise, and to discover it is to come face to face with its tortured past. Until the end of the 20th century, the city was at the heart of the conflicts and tensions of the Cold War. Today, it fascinates because it is the story of a rebirth, of an unexpected comeback. The architecture of the reconstruction after the fall of the Wall is fascinating for its creativity. Many major architectural firms were involved in rebuilding a city whose urban fabric is still riddled with gaping wounds. But Berlin has come to terms with its scars. The city also holds a privileged place on the international art scene: its theaters, operas and museums, which have a long tradition, are world-renowned. As for the independent art scene, the Freie Szene, it is essentially forward-looking.
