Reichstag, Berlin.
Introduction
Germany's capital and its largest city, Berlin is one of the world's most dynamic cities. It is home to renowned universities, research institutes, large corporations, and top-class orchestras and museums. Its nightlife, designers and youth culture are trendsetters in Europe.
Lying in ruins after WWII, torn by the Cold War, disfigured by grim concrete tenements under the GDR, the reunification gave Berlin a new lease of life, and an opportunity to reinvent itself, with panache.
