Berlin
The most international, vibrant and creative startup nucleus in Germany
Berlin is Germany's largest city with a population of 3.5 million people. After the reunification of West and East Germany in 1990, Berlin was once again declared capital of Germany. There is so much to do and see in Berlin that, as a tourist or even a local, you could spend weeks in the city and still be surprised by the various activities Berlin has to offer. Aside from the world-famous Brandenburg Gate, emblematic Alexanderplatz and the bustling "Ku'damm," you can dive into recent and more distant German history at Checkpoint Charlie and along the remains of the Berlin Wall, at the Reichstag or the sumptuous Charlottenburg Palace. You can enjoy arts and culture and world-class exhibitions at Pergamon Museum and other museums on the Museum Island and across the city. Alternatively, you can relax in the huge inner-city Tiergarten park, in a beach bar along the river Spree or by lake Wannsee.
Berlin is famous for its vibrant, diverse creative scene, which makes it a nurturing place for artists, musicians, writers and also the media industry. Needless to say, Berlin's nightlife is one of a kind, with countless cafés, bars, pubs, theatres, underground nightclubs and parties that last all night, morning and sometimes the whole weekend - there is no general closing time in the city. Berlin also offers a wide spectrum of renowned festivals such as the colourful Carnival of Cultures, Christopher Street Day and film and music festivals like the Berlin International Film Festival, the Berlinale, the Bambi and the Echo, welcoming guests of the film and music industry from all over the world.
