National Geographic Walking Guide Berlin is the ideal tool to appreciate the quintessence of Berlin. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the city, split and diverse, revived around its historic center, and today its cultural scene is the liveliest in Europe. Berlin has completely changed, thanks to the work of the most important contemporary architects. However, its history lives on in the monuments of the Habsburg era, the reminiscences of the Cold War, and in the numerous museums and memorials.
