""Let them come to Berlin"" a Berlin Travel Page by steedappeal

If not for all its tragic history, Berlin would be considered a large, bustling , fluid Northern European capital city. It is vast so be prepared to navigate the extensive underground (U Bahn) overground (S Bahn) network of trains. Although the great and the grotseque has happened here, there is a sense that truly significant history is slowly but surely leaking and evaporating from tourist sites like Checkpoint Charlie (and even the movie-set quality Brandenburg Gate).
