Host city

For this 11th edition, we invite you to join us in Berlin, Germany.

Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany, with a population of over 3.7 million people. A city steeped in history and innovation, Berlin is known for its vibrant cultural scene, rich architectural heritage, and dynamic blend of past and future.

Marked by its significant role in European history, Berlin showcases an extraordinary contrast between its historical landmarks and its cutting-edge modernity. From remnants of the Berlin Wall and the grandeur of Brandenburg Gate to the contemporary design of Potsdamer Platz, the city offers a fascinating journey through time. The Spree River winds through the metropolis, adding a touch of serenity to the urban energy.

Berlin is home to diverse and iconic districts such as Mitte, Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg, Charlottenburg, and Friedrichshain, each with its unique character and atmosphere. The city's museums, theaters, and world-renowned clubs make it a hub for art, history, and nightlife.

Among Berlin’s must-see landmarks are the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, Museum Island (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the East Side Gallery, the Berlin Cathedral, and the impressive Charlottenburg Palace. Visitors can also explore the lively Alexanderplatz, the historic Checkpoint Charlie, and the panoramic views from the TV Tower.

Berlin’s gastronomy reflects its multicultural spirit, blending traditional German cuisine with international influences. Iconic dishes include the famous Currywurst, Berlin-style Döner Kebab, Eisbein (pork knuckle), and the beloved Berliner Pfannkuchen (a jam-filled doughnut). The city’s café culture is also thriving, with plenty of charming spots to enjoy a coffee and a slice of traditional Apfelstrudel.

With its unique mix of history, creativity, and diversity, Berlin offers endless possibilities to explore and experience. Whether you're drawn to its artistic soul, historic past, or buzzing modern life, the German capital is sure to leave a lasting impression.
