About Berlin

Berlin is Germany's capital city and has undergone enormous changes in the past 100 years. No longer divided, the city is now a thriving, modern and exciting destination, welcoming tourists and business visitors alike.

Much of Berlin has been rebuilt, restored or rejuvenated and there is some wonderful architecture, both old and new, standing side by side. Visitors will find landmarks such as the Reichstag, the Europa Center, the Kollhoff Tower, the Siegessäule, and the Fernsehturm on Alexanderplatz.

Berlin operates several official tourist information centres with multilingual staff, including locations at Berlin Central Station, the Brandenburg Gate, the Humboldt Forum, and Berlin Brandenburg airport. See visitBerlin for details.
