20 Years since the Fall of the Berlin Wall

Germany celebrated on Monday 9, the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which marked the beginning of the reunification of Germany and the end of the Cold War.

2009 is a great year to visit Germany and experience history where it unfolded. After more than 28 years of German division, the Berlin Wall fell overnight from November 9-10, 1989, marking a historical event of global significance. Today, 20 years later, Germany, Europe and the entire world look back, in order to look forward. Thanks to the peaceful revolution and the Fall of the Wall, millions of people were united as the two separeted German coutries were reunified.

The balance between East and West was again established.

Germany as a destination has become a country without borders, thrown open to visitors from all over the world. A country which is impressive in the way it connects the past, present and future; a country which also cordially invites you to visit the relics of that time and relive history.
