The trendsetter of german culture
As soon I walked across the Alexander Platz I felt the special atmosphere of Berlin. There were some groups of Punks and Gothics sitting at the stairs with a shopping mall and some skyscrapers at their back. I little far away some street artists where entertaining tourists. This was the main square of the communist Berlin. Now it has a abnormal mix of unique history and thriving modernity.
Berlin is really big compared to other German cities. This makes it impossible to see everything in just one weekend. Every corner has its story, the museums are monumental and there are many worth-to-see neighbourhoods, each of them with its own character. So I stayed in Mitte and stepped my foots for a couple of hours in Postdamer Platz.
Although I have seen the Wall, I can still not get the idea of a city closed to the world where its citizens can only travel abroad by plane. And the huge length of the barrier is unimaginable.
It must be said that it isn't as comfortable -distances are huge-, quite and clean as other German urban centres. There are lots of empty buildings, some streets are dark and there are people living in usurped houses.
All in all, it is a lively city and if I were still a student, I would be living there.
Near the train station of the communist Berlin the longest, best-preserved and most interesting stretch of the Wall can be seen. In 1990 it was turned into an open-air gallery by international artists.
Cerca de la estación de Berlin del Este hay un tramo intacto del muro.
