explanation: Founded in 12th century, Berlin was first the capital of Brandenburg until 1701 then that of Kingdom of Prussia until 1871 before becoming the capital of a unified Germany. After WWII, Berlin was divided to 2 sectors and the eastern part was the capital of East Germany until the reunification in 1990. As attractive spots, we can quote Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Kirche and Reichstag. Covered one third of surface by forests and waters, the population is about 3.4 millions
