Berlin, the capital of reunified Germany is now the thriving metropolitan city that it was meant to be. From the drab and dreary days of German communism Germany has risen, strong in its resolve to move forward while maintaining the rich cultural heritage of its past. Germany's historic buildings and monuments are now standing close to new and modern buildings on the rise. Indeed, Berlin is becoming a city of the old and new, and its people will not have it any other way.

This new resurgence of vitality and life is exactly the reason why tourists are again flocking to Berlin. Who can forget the historic tearing-down of the Berlin Wall, that moment which ended the divide between East and West Germany? Aside from the historic area where the wall once stood, visitors also crave for the taste of history that they can glimpse among Berlin's old buildings, most of which are undergoing careful restoration and among its traditional stone-paved streets. However, despite its ties to its past, the city comes complete with all the modern amenities that will make any stay a luxurious and comfortable one. Various firms, from electronics to IT and health are also finding promising business prospects in the city, which is further evidence that Berlin is a modern and young city on the rise.

And do not forget the night life. Gone are the days when Berliners went to bed as soon as evening fell. The city has a thriving and colorful nightlife, and fun fills ever watering hole from the pubs and beer halls of the older generations to the techno and Latino clubs frequented by young and hip Berliners.
