Description

Learn German in this bustling international metropolis, steeped in history, tradition and the arts.

Berlin is a city of history and energy, full of excitement and forever evolving. For the past few decades, Berlin has been undergoing major rebuilding and planning efforts, which are visible in the new cityscape around Potsdamer Platz and the eastern city center. But there is also a rebuilding process taking place less visibly - in the hearts and minds of Berliners.

The city is made up of 23 different districts, each with its own unique character. Mitte, Berlin's most central district which literally means the center contains some of the city's oldest buildings as well as many of Berlin's grandest buildings, strung out like pearls along the magnificent boulevard Unter den Linden.

Located Western part of Berlin (near Kurfuerstendammis) on a long boulevard close to the Fehrbelliner Platz Metro stop.
