■Berlin
The capital of Germany, widely known to us for the 'Berlin Wall'.After World War II, the Berlin Wall was erected to separate east and west during Germany's division, becoming a symbol of the Cold War. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and German reunification in 1990, Berlin regained its status as the capital. You can feel Germany's history throughout the city at sites such as the Holocaust Memorial, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, the DDR Museum, and the Jewish Museum. The city also breathes with artistic sensibility—often called the Florence of Germany. In Berlin, where modernity and history coexist, embark on a journey through history.
■Munich
The cultural and economic center of southern Germany and the capital of Bavaria.Known widely as the city of the world's largest beer festival, Oktoberfest, Munich offers a lively atmosphere where diverse cultures and arts come together. It is also considered one of the safest cities in Europe and is beloved by many. Although it was devastated by epidemics and two world wars, it was carefully rebuilt, allowing you to experience Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo cultural heritage up close while also feeling its modern side.
