Once again the capital of Germany, the cultural center of the Golden Twenties is now also the gateway to eastern Europe - Berlin is once again making a new beginning. The fresh vibrancy can be felt everywhere: on the boulevards, in the art and flea markets, in the 300 trendy night-spots and the 7,000 pubs and restaurants. Visitors can enjoy three opera houses, two great concert halls, and 35 theatres, plus cabarets, musicals, and revues. Art lovers are also spoiled in Berlin, with a choice of no fewer than 170 excellent museums.
