Just 29 years ago, Berlin was a city divided into two by the Berlin Wall. How excited people were as the Berlin Wall came down! Since then, Berlin has become one of the coolest cities in Europe. Here are the main reasons why I think Berlin is cool.

First, Berlin has cheap hotels and everyday objects(物品).You needn't worry about spending too much money when visiting Berlin.

Second, Berlin knows how to give parties, and there is a festival here every month of the year. Perhaps the most famous is the Berlin International Film Festival (BIFF).

Thirdly, Berlin has beautiful buildings of its own. The Brandenburg Gate is one of the city's most famous buildings. It's the symbol(象征)of more than 200 years of history. The TV Tower is as good as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the London Eye.

Lastly, Berlin is a city of living art. Artists can create works of art on the sides of buildings.

If you want to visit a European city with culture, cheap objects and lots of colours, Berlin is the place to be. What are you waiting for? Get to Europe's coolest city before anyone else discovers it.
