Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Berlin is a city that pulses with life; it is a city that never sleeps. The capital of Germany is paved with cobbled streets dating back 750 years. Yet a fresh vibrancy is everywhere: on the boulevards, in the art and flea markets, in the 300 trendy night-spots and the 7,000 pubs and restaurants. This revitalized Berlin has been called the "New York City" of Europe—and is an excellent destination for every traveler.
