| Berlin Travel Guide for backpackers |
Lose your preconceived notions of Berlin and checkpoint Charlie, imagine a city of grand public buildings, sophisticated restaurants, and pumping nightlife… this is Berlin in the 21st century. Without doubt and no denying it there is another side to this historic city, a side of grey sadness and poverty in the east that highlights the glitz and 'decadence' of the western side.
Spend time enjoying the nightclubs, museums, theatres and parks, forests and lakes around Berlin and you will find much that is worth checking out. |
