Though not as ancient as many European capitals, Berlin has outstanding historical records, which put the marks on the history of the whole world. Berlin was the political and warfare battlefield which put the end to the so called Cold War. However, today's panoramic view of the skyscrapers, all range hotels in Berlin, night clubs and boutiques, make Berlin of the millennium enjoy the status of the most advanced capital of the continent. Nowadays, reunified Berlin is the capital of Germany. In fact, city was completely destroyed by bombings during World War II - streets were turned into debris and parks - into the swamps. However, spirit of optimism and will power of the Berliners let them survive not only the hard times, but even the division of the city into 2 parts, the symbol of which was the Berlin Wall.
Before World War II, the part of the Berlin which later became the East Berlin was the cultural and political center of Germany, hosting the best museums, churches and structures. After division, East Berlin started rehabilitation of those cultural places, while West Berlin had to create new ones. Besides, taking into consideration the development of the west part, West Berlin witnessed a construction boom of Berlin hotels and offices which led to relatively cheap prices even in 5 star hotels in Berlin, let alone cheap hotels in Berlin, budget Berlin hostels and accommodations in Berlin.
In spite of collapse of the wall and reunification in 1989, the difference between 2 parts of Berlin is still visible. It makes this city even more attractive. Contemporary steel and glass structures, historical buildings, beautiful parks and gardens, attract visitors to the modern Berlin. Having such historical background, the city couldn't avoid the status of tourism Mecca of Germany. Thanks to hospitality of Berliners, great number of the budget and cheap hotels in Berlin and developed tourism infrastructure, visiting Berlin has become an outstanding and unforgettable experience.
