Berlin - The Best City in the World

There is something ethralling about the city of Berlin, something that makes it distinct from the run of the mill and hyped cities like Paris, London and Amsterdam. Once you ignore all those opinionated articles on Paris and London and go visiting cities across Europe, it does'nt take you long to realize that what the viscious communities of travel agents and websites report may not be the fact. That's what I discovered while hopping from one city to another in Europe.

For me Berlin is amongst the best cities in the world, probably the best!

Berlin's supremacy derives from its understatement, from the city's ability to lie low, its rich cultural heritage and its wonderful people. The experience and warmth is purely German.

Berlin offers the best of all worlds. It is a city that can be cherished by the young and the old alike as museums, art galleries, parks and cultural centers exist side by side, in perfect harmony. On the other hand Berlin's also has an intellectual side to it, derived from institutions that draw scholars and students from across the world. So much so that the city boats of around 3 dozens of Nobel Laureates.

My verdict: You haven't visited Europe if you hav'nt seen Berlin!
