About Berlin
Germany's reunified capital — the Berlin Wall, Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island, legendary nightlife, street art, and Europe's best döner kebab with a huge Turkish community.
Berlin is one of the world's most exciting cities — raw, creative, and constantly reinventing itself. The Berlin Wall's East Side Gallery, Brandenburg Gate, and Checkpoint Charlie tell the Cold War story. Museum Island (UNESCO) has world-class collections. The nightlife is legendary — Berghain is the world's most famous club. Kreuzberg is the Turkish-German heart with the best döner in Europe. For Gulf visitors, Berlin has Germany's largest Muslim community — halal food is abundant, especially in Kreuzberg and Neukölln.
