Cities
Berlin
Berlin is the largest city and capital of Germany. Berlin is best known for its historical associations as the German capital, internationalism and tolerance, lively nightlife, its many cafés, clubs and bars, street art, numerous museums, palaces, and other sites of historic interest. Berlin’s architecture is quite varied. Although badly damaged in the final years of World War II and broken apart during the Cold War, Berlin has reconstructed itself greatly, especially with the reunification push after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Munich
Radiant Bavarian culture, Munich is a charming and most popular city in Germany. Called München in German, the town takes its name from its first monastery where monks began the now traditional beer brewing. Although best known today for its annual beer festival, Oktoberfest, Munich also has an artistic side with important European art collections in many art galleries. Whether you are looking for perfect summer days in a garden café or a touch of festive magic of the snowy Christmas markets, Munich is guaranteed to please!
