Berlin
A wall that came down in an evening and is now mostly a gallery, nightlife that treats Monday as a rumour, and enough museums on one island to need a season ticket.
The best time to visit Berlin is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 25°C (77°F). Local time there is 15:13 (UTC+2).
