Berlin, Germany The Best Travel Destinations for 2019

 

The year 2019 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. This makes Berlin one of the perfect 2019 travel destinations to add to your travel calendar. The city planned a yearlong celebration of 100 years of the Bauhaus architectural movement. It will start in January with the festival at the Akademie der Kunste, with performances, lectures, and exhibits. Later in the year will be the opening of the Humboldt Forum in the Berlin Palace. This huge complex will include the Ethnological and Asian Art museums. It will also house the Berlin Exhibition. The exhibit will explore how the diverse city interacts with the rest of the world.

 

Berlin is a big multicultural metropolis but deep down it maintains the unpretentious charm of an international village. Locals and expats follow the credo ‘live and let live’ and put greater emphasis on personal freedom and a creative lifestyle than on material wealth and status symbols. –Lonely Planet
