Imagine exploring the Top 10 must-see sites of Berlin in a single day, effortlessly and efficiently, with every detail taken care of from start to finish. Your English-speaking Escort will welcome you at the port and whisk you away in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle for the approximately 3-hour transfer to Berlin. During the drive, which includes 1-2 comfort stops, your escort will give you an overview of the day ahead and share useful information about the city.

Upon arrival, your personal expert Berlin Guide will join your group and lead you through this vibrant city. Along the way, you'll have opportunities to step off the coach, stretch your legs, and truly experience Berlin, marveling at iconic landmarks that overflow with history and culture.

Recharge like a local: For a quick boost during the tour, "do as the Germans do" and enjoy a classic fast-food snack - a Bratwurst or Currywurst, paired with a local German beer at a traditional Berliner "Imbiss" stand.

Your first stop is Charlottenburg Palace, a grand example of Prussian baroque architecture, where you can enjoy a short outdoor visit before continuing through the former Western part of Berlin. Pass by the Emperor William Memorial Church on the prestigious Ku'Damm shopping mile, and capture a selfie in front of the iconic Brandenburg Gate. Take a reflective short walk through the Holocaust Memorial, a sea of concrete stelae honoring the millions of murdered Jews of Europe.

Next, admire Germany's seat of Parliament, the Reichstag, with its famous glass cupola designed by Sir Norman Foster, and stop for photos at the UNESCO-listed Museum Island, home to the Altes Museum and the magnificent Berlin Cathedral.

Dive into Berlin's Cold War history at Checkpoint Charlie, the famous Allied checkpoint, and touch the Berlin Wall, getting a real sense of life in a divided city. Explore the Topography of Terror, an open-air exhibition on the former SS and Gestapo headquarters, and learn about Germany's complex past.

Finally, marvel at the Berlin TV Tower, the tallest building in Germany at 368 meters, built as a status symbol of East Germany. Your guide will share the amusing stories behind its nicknames, including "The Toothpick" and "The Pope's Revenge."

Time-permitting, enjoy leisure time to shop, photograph, or stroll Berlin's streets at your own pace before a relaxing coach drive back to the port.
