Architectural Landmarks in Berlin

In Berlin, the capital city of Germany, we can discover a unique and diverse tapestry of architectural styles, from the grand historical buildings such as the Brandenburg gate to the 20th century masterpieces such as the Berlin Philharmonic and the Neue Nationalgalerie. From an urban development aspect, Berlin is the most populous city in the European Union, but only just makes it into the top 50 European cities by population density: indeed, it has a population of around 3.7M in an area of 890 square kilometers leading to a population density of slightly more than 4000 inhabitants per square kilometer.
