Berlin, Germany
The city of Berlin has had a disproportionately large effect on Europe's history and has been the location of more than its fair share of meaningful events. This looming history is evident everywhere you look, from the Brandenburg Gate to the Sanssouci Palace. But these days Berlin also has a reputation for having more than its fair share of cool – nurturing some of the world's most interesting artists and creative DJs. On the outside Berlin is serious and even austere, but once you're inside there's that famous hedonism that's lain underneath, proving that this place knows how to adapt and survive. Berlin's a survivor. And an energetic, opinionated, yet open, one at that.

The first time I visited Berlin, the free walking tour was an excellent place to start. Our guide was Taylor and he was a best guide from start to end. Never has anyone impressed me for so long with so much information, funny sides to things and stories that really made Berlin, and it's history, live. The places I liked best were the Berlin wall and Brandenburg Gate.
