City Guide:
Two decades since the wall was torn down, Berlin is a city reborn.
With a trendy vibe around the arts, fashion, design and music, the German capital oozes street cred and style, albeit with an edge. As far as reinventions go, it's impressive.
The city of Berlin was pivotal in 20th century history, leveled by bombing in World War II, divided in half by a wall that represented the division of a nation and the German people, before that wall was finally torn down in 1989.
From the instantly recognizable Brandenburg Gate, to the Reichstag, remnants of the wall through to Checkpoint Charlie the reminders of the city's turbulent past are everywhere.
