Two small merchant towns — Berlin and Cölln — on islands in the River Spree are first recorded in 1237. They grew as a Hanseatic trading centre and in 1701 became the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia. The 20th century made Berlin the stage for history's most dramatic acts: the Wall went up in 1961 and fell on November 9, 1989 — a single night that changed the world. Today the city wears its scars as art.
Berlin has more museums than rainy days per year — over 170 in total. The best time for a virtual walk through Berlin is summer (june–august). Must-try local foods include Currywurst, Döner kebab, Berliner Pfannkuchen.
