Berlin: The thriving German capital is not only the centre of political influence. It is also a hub and hot spot for culture and media, and it is one of the top international IT cities. Berlin is renowned for its exceptional variety of attractions, its flourishing cultural scene, and its energetic yet relaxed pace. With a population of around 3.5 million, it is Germany's largest city. Berliners are known for their liberal, cosmopolitan, and unconventional attitudes. There is no other city that bridges past and future quite like Berlin. A vast number of sights recount the city's history, while it is also home to all the major government agencies and buildings, including the historic Reichstag, which houses the "Bundestag", Germany's parliament. This contrast between historic monuments and contemporary architecture, between traditional and modern, is just one of the many aspects that make this city so unique. Berlin is also a magnet for artistic, creative, and unconventional individuals. In Berlin, there is also room to slow down and enjoy the finer things of life. It is the greenest European capital, with spacious parks, forests, and lakes. The rhythm of the city combines pulsating urban energy with grace. In the summer, Berliners live outdoors - in the beach bars, cafés, and open-air cinemas and theatres, where they can make the most of the sun and the longer evenings.
