Since
Germany became a nation in 1871, the country's capital,
Berlin, has always reflected its history, both the negative
and positive sides. The many ups and downs have made Berlin
a city of change.
Most
of Berlin was destroyed after the second world war,
but many landmarks have either been restored or reconstructed.
After
the fall of the wall, historic areas like Potsdamer
Platz and Pariser Platz were completely revamped.
Nowadays, Berlin is once again one of the greatest European
cities: lively, dynamic and inviting.
