​​Welcome to Berlin
"Exciting Nights"

Welcome to Berlin, the vibrant heart of Germany, where history, culture, and creativity converge in a city that never stops evolving. This dynamic metropolis, where the past and the future harmoniously coexist, invites you to immerse yourself in its iconic landmarks, diverse neighborhoods, and thriving arts scene. Berlin's iconic Brandenburg Gate stands tall as a symbol of unity and freedom, a reminder of the city's tumultuous history and its triumphs. As you wander through its grandeur, you'll be transported through centuries of stories and change. The city's cultural richness is celebrated in its numerous museums and galleries. Explore the Pergamon Museum, where ancient civilizations come to life, or lose yourself in the impressive art collection at the Gemäldegalerie. The Berlin Wall Memorial offers a poignant look into the city's divided past. Berlin's neighborhoods are a tapestry of cultures and experiences. Dive into the creative energy of Kreuzberg, where street art adorns the walls and international cuisine fills the streets. Or visit the historic streets of Mitte, where boutiques and cafes blend seamlessly with historic landmarks. The culinary scene in Berlin is a global journey on a plate. Savor traditional German dishes like schnitzel and bratwurst, or explore the city's diverse international offerings. Don't miss the bustling food markets, where flavors from around the world tantalize your taste buds. Nature enthusiasts will find solace in Berlin's green spaces. Tiergarten, a sprawling urban park in the heart of the city, offers tranquil lakes and meandering paths. The Grunewald Forest, on the outskirts, provides a serene escape for hiking and biking. Berlin is a city of festivals and events that celebrate music, art, and culture. From the Berlinale, one of the world's most prestigious film festivals, to the vibrant Carnival of Cultures, the city's cultural calendar is always brimming with excitement. Whether you're an explorer, an art lover, a foodie, or simply seeking a dynamic urban adventure, Berlin has something to offer everyone. Come and immerse yourself in the magic of this captivating city, where every street corner holds a story waiting to be uncovered. Berlin is not just a destination; it's an invitation to embrace the spirit of Germany's capital.

Countries receiving points from most juries / France, 17

Once again the lead changed hands several times during the voting. A fierce battle between Portugal and Australia ended with the former clinching ahead to claim their first victory - heavily due to the 6 top marks they recevied. Australia took the silver and France won the bronze. Finland and Bosnia-Herzegovina rounded out the top 5. For the whole top 5 it was their best result ever.

Portugal is one of the founding members of Global Music and has been present in every single edition so far. With 3 top 10 finishes in the first 4 editions, culminating in a 4th place, Portugal got off to a strong start, but since then their results have been less impressive. Portugal even missed the final in the last edition. That is, however, all forgotten now, as Portugal bounces back in style, winning their first gold medal. HoD Luis has been responsible for the Portuguese delegation from the beginning, and he can now crown his efforts with the big trophy. Well done Portugal, David Fonseca and Luis!
