Culture in Brandenburg

But Brandenburg also offers much to discover culturally: Prussian palaces, baroque parks, lovingly preserved old towns, and modern art initiatives in historic industrial sites demonstrate the diverse interplay between past and present.

That's precisely why it's worthwhile to consciously choose individual locations instead of simply viewing Brandenburg as "Berlin's surrounding area."
