Begin your historical journey by visiting the Holocaust Memorial, an essential experience in Berlin. The stark, striking design of this memorial encourages reflection and offers a powerful tribute to the victims of the Holocaust.
Head to Checkpoint Charlie, the famous Cold War border crossing and learn about the divisions that once split Berlin into East and West.
Unique Experience:
End the day with an exclusive dinner at Käfer, located inside the Reichstag’s Dome. While enjoying your meal, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the city from this historic vantage point. Be sure to book early for a table on the terrace to experience the full magic of Berlin at sunset.
Spend the day exploring the remnants of the 155km long Berlin Wall, starting at the Berlin Wall Memorial. This memorial offers an in-depth look at the city’s Cold War past, including stories of those who attempted to cross the Wall.
Next, visit the East Side Gallery, where colourful murals painted on sections of the Wall convey messages of hope and freedom. Stroll along this open-air gallery, admiring works by artists from all over the world.
Unique Experience:
Explore Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a private guided tour. Visit the Pergamon Museum, known for its ancient artifacts like the Ishtar Gate, or the Neues Museum, home to the renowned bust of Queen Nefertiti. These cultural highlights provide a deeper insight into Berlin’s artistic and historical significance.
Berlin is one of the most cycle-friendly cities in Europe. Spend the day on a leisurely bike tour through some of the city’s most charming neighbourhoods, from the historic streets of Mitte to the trendy, art-filled streets of Kreuzberg.
Your cycling adventure will take you through the vast Tiergarten, Berlin’s central park, where you can stop for a picnic or a coffee break by the river. The flexible nature of this day allows you to experience the city at your own pace.
On Day 5, venture outside Berlin for a day trip to Potsdam, home to palaces and gardens that showcase Germany’s royal history. Start your tour with a visit to Sanssouci Palace, the former summer residence of Frederick the Great. The palace’s stunning Rococo architecture and beautiful gardens provide a serene escape from the bustle of the city.
In the afternoon, visit Cecilienhof Palace, where the Potsdam Conference took place in 1945. This site offers a glimpse into post-war history, where world leaders such as Churchill, Truman, and Stalin gathered to shape the future of Europe.
On your final day, spend the morning visiting any remaining sights or enjoying a bit of last-minute shopping. Take a relaxed stroll through Gendarmenmarkt, one of Berlin’s most beautiful squares, home to the German and French Cathedrals and the Konzerthaus.
