ISLAND OF THE GODS

Barcelona
Proud and beautiful
With the exception of Berlin, hardly any other world city has changed as much in recent years as Barcelona. The Catalan metropolis is proud of its new districts, but the city is also proud of its old quarters which bear witness to how powerful and rich its inhabitants once were. Barcelona is not only fascinating because of its beautiful architecture and cultural life, the seaside city also attracts visitors for the constant buzz that never stops – not even at night. ...

Berlin
Still under Construction
The new Berlin is on its way to becoming a proper capital city again since the dismantling of the Wall but will there ever be an end to the sand, dust, stone, glass and steel, the new roofs and towers atop the old walls? A new underground railway line will run beneath the trees lining the avenue of Unter den Linden. Schinkel's Academy of Architecture, a veritable castle in the air, reaches for the sky concealed behind the tiers of stones printed on its tarpaulin sheeting. Cranes cluster around the Ostbahnhof railway station to haul the next building up from the banks of the Spree. This is how the city has been since the start of the century: Berlin is coming into being. ...

Soon, however, everyone returns to their daily tasks. Despite the modernity brought about by its gigantic oil reserves, life in the UAE is still dominated by religion.

So much to do – so little time: this phrase can be heard again and again, sighed out loud by visitors to Florida. Rightly so, as the variety of activities and entertainment on offer is overwhelming. It's impossible to see everything within a single visit! And to spend the entire holiday at the beach or in theme parks is not recommended. Florida is – of course – more than just sun, sand and Mickey Mouse.
