6. Taste the Cool Side of Berlin
With 175 museums, Berlin has more museums than rainy days.” So says the city itself and, yes, it’s a capital that overflows with history, traditional art and culture and a sombre look back at its political past.
But it’s also a place that bursts with design, creativity and an energetic kind of cool. It has legendary nightclubs, underground fashion houses that sell clothes by the kilo and even a cartoon museum dedicated to Currywurst.
Wander down Kastanianallee to find cafes, record shops, street art and kooky vintage boutiques. Fall in love with Berlin for its capacity for reinvention and looking towards the future, as well as retracing its all-important past.
