Few world capitals have undergone so much change over the past 300 years as the Germany's capital Berlin. This city was the seat of 5 different forms of governments and states (Margraviate of Brandenburg up to 1700, Kingdom of Prussia up to 1871, German Empire up to 1918, German Reich until 1945, German Democratic Republic until 1990 and Germany since then). It symbolizes destruction and rebuilding, division and unification and, especially, friendship with the United States.
Today, Berlin boasts 3.4 million inhabitants and is Europe's third most visited capital. Due to its nightlife, festivals, contemporary architecture and avant-garde arts, Berlin has become a center for liberal lifestyle and modern zeitgeist and low-cost, high quality living. And the cuisine of this region is as colorful as the city itself.
