A lot has been said about Berlin and it is certainly a special place. I want to add, just as special as all other towns in this world. It is not worse or better than others, it is just different. Roughly 3.5 million people call Berlin home, one might think it is a crazy busy town, but in reality, it isn’t. It is a capital city but at times feels like a provincial town. Berlin might have a proper airport by now, but it is a rather cute-ish place. Winters are freezing cold, but summers are amazingly warm and long. And I could go on and on and on. Here is what others had to say about Berlin over the centuries.
