Berlin, Germany
Berlin's cultural programme is amazing: three opera houses, over 150 theatres and playhouses, over 170 museums and collections and over 200 private galleries. In addition, the capital is host to numerous top acts, artists and bands - every day nearly 1.500 events are on Berlin's cultural calendar. Since the Reunification in 1990, Berlin has undergone a process of continual redefinition and change. This richness, created from the injection of the new into a potent historical structure, has become one of Germany's and Europe's premiere cultural attractions.
The restored identity as the nation's capital has been a driving force in both urban design and cultural diversity. Berlin is now world-famous for its international architecture, fine and performing arts.
