Berlin is one of the biggest cities in Europe (its population is 3,4 million of people) and along with it, it's, perhaps, one of the most fashionable and constantly changing cities. Since 1990 Berlin is the capital of Germany, but practically it still consists of 2 parts. When The Berlin Wall fell, Berlin became one of the musical centers of Europe that is attracting more and more musicians and art workers. And when trend-restaurants and clubs appeared, Berlin got back the reputation of the most fashionable European city.
