Now that Berlin is reunited, visitors can appreciate the qualities that mark the city as a whole. The stunning parts are in the historic east part of town, which has grand avenues, monumental architecture, and world treasures in its museums and the west with its new museums and cultural centres. The appeal has lain in its spaciousness, its trees and greenery, and vigorous atmosphere. Berlin over came its destruction from World War II, by the optimistic spirit and strength of will of the locals has enabled them to survive.
