Berlin has always enjoyed an important position in Germany. It was an important center in ancient Germany, and later it became a big hub in the German Empire. In both World Wars, Berlin was headquartered and command center of all German military and government divisions and sectors. After the Wars, this city was divided into two parts, and a wall was built in between, known as the Berlin Wall. The city was then the capital of 2 different countries, East and West Germany. It was the only city in the world at the time that was the capital of 2 countries.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, East, and West Germany reunited and became one country again. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the city once again became one, but there was so much difference on each side of the wall that people rushed into the eastern part of the city. To their amazement, there were countless abandoned buildings. Later they were converted into houses, workspaces, hostels, and graffiti. People from all over the world traveled to Berlin just to see the art in those buildings and leave their mark on creativity. They also started living there, and soon afterward these spots became a place to crash for all backpackers.
However, these are now developed buildings and offer accommodation to all backpackers at the most reasonable prices. Berlin has a lot to offer to tourists. From museums to cathedrals and historical landmarks. So plan your trip to this city and explore it to the fullest. Following is a list of things to see in this city, make sure you cover all of them.
