About the Area for SilverDoor Serviced Apartments in Berlin

Berlin is the capital of Germany and a population of 3.4 million. It is one of the most influential centers in European politics, culture and science and located at the hub of continental transportation. This has helped stitch the wound of the Berlin Wall which divided the city from 1961-89.

The rapidly evolving metropolis enjoys an international reputation for its festivals, contemporary architecture, nightlife and avant-garde arts being a focal point for individuals who are attracted by its liberal lifestyle. Berlin enjoys warm summer days averaging 24°C but freezes over the winter months.

Berlin was devastated by bombing in World War II and many of the buildings that survived were eradicated in the 1950s and 1960s in both West and East. Much of this redevelopment was initiated by municipal architecture programs to build new residential or business quarters and main roads. Berlin's unique recent history has left the city with an eclectic array of architecture and sights.

The famous Brandenburg Gate is near the Reichstag building, the traditional seat of the German Parliament. The building was remodeled in the 1990s and features a glass dome over the session area, which is open to the public free of charge and offers magnificent views of the city.
