Experiencing Berlin
Much of Berlin has been rebuilt, restored, or rejuvenated and there is some wonderful architecture, both old and new, side by side.

West is the Tiergarten section, home to the city’s largest green space and the historic Reichstag, which received a modern glass dome in 1999.
Southwest of Tiergarten is an area so esteemed in the 17th century that it became Queen Sophie’s summertime retreat. Today, its privileged status rests on the laurels of excellent shopping and dining.
To the south is Kreuzberg traditionally the city’s Turkish district and today home to Europe’s liveliest bohemian population.
