Berlin ranks among the “Places to See Before You Die” as one of world’s top tourist highlights

Berlin, 27 December 2011 Berlin plays in the league of the leading international travel destinations. According to the US “Smithsonian Magazine”, the German capital is one of the “43 Places to See Before You Die”, and hence counts among the destinations that one should have visited at least once in a lifetime, just as the pyramids of Giza, the Grand Canyon, the Taj Mahal and the Antarctic. Berlin – a focus of turbulent history, a centre of cultural diversity and a party hotspot – is described as constantly reinventing itself and, therefore, worth a visit by all means.

The renowned “Smithsonian Magazine“ is the official publication of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, a US research and educational institution with the world’s largest museum complex.
