There is simply nothing like Berlin. Recent visitors have realized that they’ve only scratched the surface and must come back, and it’s only in the last five years that many of Berlin’s prime attractions have reopened or been built from scratch.

ABOUT GABRIEL FAWCETT
Gabriel Fawcett spent two years working for BBC Radio News before leaving London to live and work in Berlin, Germany, where he put his history degree and obsession for the subject to good use by specializing as a guide around this city's unique sights. He is engrossed in Central Europe's sometimes tragic, sometimes inspiring past as well as its promising future. He loves nothing better than travelling in this part of the world and gleaning new material for his historical sense of humor. We suspect that he also enjoys guiding Earthbound tours to escape from his own cooking.
