Berlin

THE PERFECT PLAYGROUND

TO JUST DO IT

Berlin - the city of freedom

Melting Pot Berlin

[THE BERLINER MINDSET IS] SEEKING, SEARCHING, DREAMING, RESISTING, IDEALISTIC, RADICAL, EXPERIMENTAL, HEDONISTIC,
LIBERAL, EXPRESSIVE, SENSITIVE, MOODY, SUSPICIOUS OF BIG BUSINESS AND CAPITALISM IN GENERAL.
IT'S TOO EASY TO CHARACTERISE CREATIVE BERLIN AS A CITY OF HIPSTERS, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE PLENTY OF THOSE.
