Traveler's Choice: Style Capital -- Berlin, Germany

[caption id="attachment_77260" align="alignright" width="607"] Nefertiti, A Berliner Who's Always in Style[/caption]Today, with the city's post-Berlin Wall reconstruction nearly complete in physical and emotional terms, there are signs that the wild, wicked Berlin of the 1920s has returned. The city's avant-garde art scene is flourishing; stars like Olafur Eliasson and Daniel Richter now call Berlin home. (Chinese artist Ai Weiwei accepted a post at the Berlin University of the Arts after his imprisonment last year.) World-class filmmaking has returned to the famed Studio Babelsberg; soundstages where Fritz Lang and Josef von Sternberg worked are now being used by notable subversives like the Wachowskis and Quentin Tarantino. The contemporary nightlife scene is unmatched in its enthusiasm for all-hours partying and sheer volume of venues and events—many inspired by a past golden age.

Our Academy says:

Nowhere in the world right now can you see such phenomenal design, fashion, architecture in one city. One sprawling, messy, beautiful city. Not since the 1920s has Berlin felt this white hot.

--Charles Runnette
