Berlin
Previously a city divided, Berlin is now the heartbeat of the new Germany, pumping history, culture, arts and entertainment through the veins of all who take the opportunity to visit. The wall is down, but Berlin remains a city of contradiction and versatility, a dynamic mosaic that only adds to this German treasure’s intrigue and appeal.
See the city on a guided bike tour, on foot, by river boat or tram, there are countless ways to explore the unlimited attractions dotted across Berlin. Take a stroll down Unter den Linden Boulevard to Brandenburger Tor, the last remaining gate of the infamous Berlin Wall and now a symbol of Germany’s unity. A glorious statue of Nike sits atop the gate, glaring towards the victorious west, signifying the victory of freedom over oppression. Less than 2 miles from the gate, you can relax in the shade or sunbathe in lusciously green Tiergarten Park, once a hunting ground for Germany’s royalty and spanning over 412 acres. Enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of beautiful Berlin along with a delicious German meal 125 meters above the city in the Berlin Radio Tower. Spend an entire day at the massive Museumsinsel (Museum Island), the only collection of museums in the world that together architecturally illustrate the evolution of museum design throughout the past 100 years. For a sizzling night life experience like never before, hit all the hot spots in the Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain districts. More than just a city, Berlin, Germany represents the fight for and the spirit of freedom.
