Berlin
As a capital, cultural center, and place to eat and drink well, Berlin stands out and could fill years of your time in exploration. But, for me, it’s the history that takes me there.
Berlin is where a lot of the 20th century came to a head. In particular, the end of the Cold War is the most visible in the city today. After you check out the tourist spot in Checkpoint Charlie, keep walking. You’ll see that the shadows of the Berlin Wall are still around, and you can see the old, Soviet-style architecture around the city. It serves as a stark reminder that we’re a part of history, not removed from it.
