Berlin
The City That Trees Built
The city was originally founded in 1237 A.D. and has centuries of history, secrets and mysteries for you to discover. It is nine times the size of Paris and has more canals than Venice. The River Spree flows right through the center of Berlin, making river cruises a popular way to experience the sights and sounds of this bustling metropolis. Many of their traditional foods include sausages and more than 70 million curried sausages are eaten, each year. And, if seeing a castle is on your list of things to do, there are nine of these enchanting, royal residences in Berlin. This once small town built on a swamp has overcome its tragic, turbulent past to become one of Europe’s powerhouse cities of strength, energy and influence.
