Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

We were walking around Berlin and after visiting the Russian memorial were heading to the Brandenburg Gate when we spotted this memorial plaque on the pavement. We stopped to take a look and found it was a memorial to Ronald Reagan a former American president. It was unveiled on 19 September 2012 so fairly recent. It commemorates Ronald Reagans speech made at the Brandenburg Gate where he stated Tear Down This Wall in a speech on 1987 when no one believed this would happen. While we were looking at it a local man stopped and asked us what we were looking at and said he had never noticed it before! Worth looking out for.
