Berlin, the capital and largest city of Germany, is a vibrant hub of culture, history, and innovation. With a population of 3.7 million residents, it stands as the most populous city in the European Union within its city limits. Situated within the State of Brandenburg and closely connected to Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg, Berlin is a city that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity. As you explore Berlin, you'll encounter a rich tapestry of historical and cultural landmarks. The city boasts three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Museum Island, the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin, and the Berlin Modernism Housing Estates. Iconic symbols like the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag building, Potsdamer Platz, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and the Berlin Wall Memorial stand as testaments to Berlin's historical significance. The East Side Gallery, the Berlin Victory Column, Berlin Cathedral, and the Berlin Television Tower, the tallest structure in Germany, also add to the city's allure.

Notable institutions include the Old National Gallery, the Bode Museum, the Pergamon Museum, the German Historical Museum, the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Natural History Museum, the Humboldt Forum, the Berlin State Library, the Berlin State Opera, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the Berlin Marathon.
