If you wander through the streets of Berlin, you will surely notice one thing: there is no other capital in Europe that is as international and as young as this one. Berlin is a city in transition. The districts that were notorious for their crime rate only a few years back now are a magnet for young tourists who want to amuse themselves in the many bars and hidden clubs these streets have to offer.
Foreigners that once used to live here always look back on this period with nostalgia and often come back for a couple of days just to breath the Berlinese air again. Many of them book a room on wimdu because they want to be part of the real Berlin life right in the heart of this fascinating city.
Another phenomenon, that you will not find in any other city to such a great extent, is street art. Berlin is full of ephemeral works of art, no need to pay the entrance fee for a museum, the streets in this city are like an art gallery! There are many offers in Berlin for authentic apartments that really give you the impression to live in this city instead of being a simple tourist.

Must-sees in Berlin

Berlin has an important historical heritage, the city itself is an important contemporary witness. A former bunker has been transformed into a big art collection, the so-called Sammlung Boros, and can be visited if you make an appointment.
A few spots you shouldn’t miss if you’re planning on visiting Berlin are Checkpoint Charlie, an ancient crossing point between East and West Berlin, the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, the German parliament and historical edifice and the so-called East Side Gallery, the longest section of the Berlin Wall existing today.
