Hello everyone,

My name is Marek, let me be your guide in Berlin - the capital of the biggest country in European Union.

Berlin has very long and complicated history. It was established in 13th century. Nowadays Berlin is one of the fastest developing cities in Europe. After the fall of Berlin Wall in 1989 the city started to change its face. Many buildings were destroyed or rebuilt. Berlin is also one of the most important European cultural centres.
