Berlin, tale of 2 cities

by SirRichard - last update: Sep 24, 2002

Berlin is a strange city. For me, it has many levels. In time, there is "alte Berlin", the image of Berlin before the WW2, Marlene Dietrich, cabarets... and the future Berlin, a ultramodern capital of the reunited Germany, lots of cranes, new buildings... In space, there is "ground Berlin", the city you see as you just arrive, wide boulevards, grey buildings... and "underground Berlin", the eco-alternative young city which lives in night-clubs, cabarets, Kreuzberg... Discover "All Berlins"!!

The big Berlin

Since 1920, several nearby villages united to form the nowadays Berlin, surrounded by rivers, woods and little villages full of charm, perfect 1-day trips, well communicated by train or bus, as Postdam or Spandau.

 Great tips on Berlin, Germany is the front runner for my 2006 trip.

 I agree that Berlin is a strange city in many respects but an extremely loveable one! You hit the proverbial nail on the head with the 'mix of old and new'. Thanks for the tips, cheers, Colleen :)

 i saw a pic of you in front of the murale 'cultuur barbaren' -- somewhere... sure it was Berlin but didn't find it here. Cafe Einstein would make me happy :-)
