Berlin

Berlin is an edgy, often striking city that sat at the epicenter of some of the 20th century's defining moments. I've always found it a city that is difficult to describe, and sometimes even difficult to enjoy: it's often as emotionally draining as it is enriching. It's a huge city spanning vastly different neighbourhoods thanks to its historical division, with more museums and monuments than any city its age. Most of post-war Berlin isn't what you'd call charming, but it's certainly alluring, and a very, very powerful storyteller.
