Berlin was once primarily known for the wall that divided the city, but today it’s a united city, renowned for its museums and festivals. Made up of twelve distinct districts, each with its own identity, its setup makes Berlin easy to navigate and explore. If you like history, hit the central Mitte district where you’ll find Berlin\'s finest museums, including the Pergamon Museum and Bode Museum. Then, of course, there Museum Island, a whole island dedicated to cultural treasure troves. A short walk to the east and you’ll find the DDR Museum, where you learn more about life under the East German regime.
