The city's rich cultural history and diversity along with an affordable cost of living compared with other European capitals are among the ingredients that make the city so very culture-positive. Where to shop Courtesy of boros sammlung Steps from the popular Fredrichstrasse shopping street is a private art gallery housed in a converted overground bomb shelter that was originally built in 1942 under the direction of Adolf Hitler's chief architect Albert Speer.
