Berlin’s reputation as a haven for creativity and expression has attracted artists from all around the world. The fall of the Berlin Wall led to whole neighbourhoods being abandoned in the 90s, making way for artists’ communes to move in. They’ve been plastering the city’s walls with constantly changing street art ever since then.
Berlin is a must-see city for any student of German Language. It's an exciting and dynamic place, full of historical landmarks, museums and cultural icons. It will inspire and enthuse any budding linguist and will give your students many opportunities to practise their German.
