Berlin is one of the most fascinating cities of
Europe due to its unique history, culture and world class museums. Â
As one of the largest cities in
Europe with a population of about 3.5 million People this city has a lot to offer. One third Of Berlin is made up of municipal parks. Before the fall of
Berlin wall, the area of Potsdamer Platz was a huge derelict property. The wall went across this once busiest square of Europe. Â
Tourists used to go there to see the wall and to get on an observation platform, from which they could see the death strip and what was left of Hitler’s bunker.
Since the reunification, this former border area has developed to a
new city center.
On one side of the square you can find the
Sony
Center built by Helmut John. The
Sony Center’s tent-like roof construction is supposed to remind people of
Mount Fuji.
On the other side of the square is the
Daimler City. Â
This property was developed by the Daimler Benz company. Famous architects from all over the world, such as Richard Rogers, Jose Rafael Moneo, Renzo Piano, Arata Isozaki and many others, participated in the planning and development of this area.
At Potsdamer Platz you can find a shopping center called Potsdamer Platz Arkaden and a number of restaurants, cafes and bars also the new musical theatre and Spielbank Berlin (gambling casino) at Marlene Dietrich Platz. The city of
Berlin has every thing a traveler is looking for.  Hostels247.com is made for you.Â
