BERLIN

Twenty years after its rebirth, following the collapse of the Wall, Berlin is full of vitality and daring. The mayor, Klaus Wowereit, described his city as «poor but sexy». City of romanticism, nazism, communism and now triumphant capitalism, Berlin has many different faces. Berlin is a bon vivant, passionately feasting on the smorgasbord of life, never taking things – or itself – too seriously.
