Berlin is the capital city and the seat of the government of united Germany. The Reunification in 1990 ensured that Berlin began to emerge from the ravages of post-war Europe as an exciting and dynamic force in the German political and economic arena.

'New Berlin' is at the heart of commercial growth, with many corporations basing their headquarters in this international metropolis.

Major construction projects are underway to redevelop areas like Potsdamer Platz, which already has over 120 shops, 20 cinemas (including an IMAX) and a musical theatre. Stylish Kurfürstendamm is a 3.5-kilometre (2-mile) boulevard filled with superb hotels, fashionable restaurants, cafés and boutiques.
