Berlin is the capital of Germany and also one of its 16 federal states. With over 3.7 million inhabitants, it is the country’s largest city. Berlin is known for its turbulent history – from being the Prussian royal residence to the period of German division and eventual reunification. Landmarks include the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, the Berlin Wall remnants, and the TV Tower at Alexanderplatz. Today, Berlin is an international hub for politics, culture, science, and the creative industries.
