Best of Berlin

See history unfold before your eyes as you hit the must-see sites of this major city, including the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall, Humboldt University and Checkpoint Charlie amongst other highlights on this amazing Berlin excursion. Your driver will welcome you at the pier side and take you on a 3-hour transfer to Berlin.

Enjoy a roomy, air-conditioned coach ride through the beautiful German countryside as you travel down the Autobahn towards former West Berlin. On arrival in the city, your English-speaking local tour guide will join the vehicle and take you on a panoramic journey to some of Berlin's most famous sites including the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, the Ku'Damm and the Reichstag. Pass by well-known sites such as The Victory Column as well as the TV Tower. During a photo stop admire the Baroque architecture of the Charlottenburg Palace (outside only) before visiting the Brandenburg Gate, arguably Berlin's most famous landmark! Pay your respects at the Holocaust Memorial, a very humble experience and a mesmerizing place to visit.

Take a break from touring to sample German beer and local food (not included), then it's on to former East Berlin where you will see the Berlin Wall from the comfort of your coach and Checkpoint Charlie-where you'll get a chance for a quick photo stop as your guide discusses the history of this historical crossing point. Before heading back to the coach for a relaxing ride back to the cruise ship pier, pass by Museum's Island (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and drive along the Unter Den Linden Boulevard, seeing world-famous places like the Bebel Square, the State Opera House and the Humboldt University.
