Germany at a Glance

Visit the Berlin Wall Memorial, situated at the historic site on Bernauer Strasse. You will also be able to stop at the East Side Gallery, a 1.3 km section of the old Berlin Wall.

Furthermore, you can visit the North Bahnhof, also called the Ghost station, and make a stop at Checkpoint Charlie, the best-known border crossing and famous film setting for spy movies.

Enjoy a walking tour through the town of Potsdam. Its Dutch quarter is the largest preserved settlement in the Dutch style outside of the Netherlands.

You can then visit the Rococo-style Hohenzollern Sanssouci Palace, located in the Sanssouci Park, along with Cecilienhof Palace. Here, in summer 1945, world history was made when representatives of the three main allies of World War II met here for top-level discussions on the restructuring of Europe and the future of Germany.

Enjoy a guided exploration of Berlin’s best sights. Your guide will lead you through former East and West Berlin, weaving the story of the city’s history and how life was during the Wall’s existence. You will pass by the most important sights of Berlin, such as the Reichstag, Brandenburger Tor, Potsdamer Platz, Hakesche Höfe and Checkpoint Charlie.

You can also visit the East Side Gallery, a former section of the Berlin Wall, where artists after its fall have turned it into the largest open-air gallery in the world with over one hundred paintings.

Enjoy a typical sausage ‘weißwurst’ at the Victualien market and stroll around all the stands with vegetables, cheese and flowers, as the bells of the  two-tier glockenspiel (carillon) peel out across the market at midday.

The next exciting stop is the castle Nymphenburg, with its unique combination of architecture and garden design. The guided tour will end at the Botanical Garden in the suburb of Nymphenburg, where approximately 19,600 species and subspecies live.

Take a privately guided art tour through one of Munich’s museums. One example of a museum you might visit is Lenbachhouse. Since the 1970s the museum has been presenting the important trends and artists of the international contemporary art world and collecting contemporary art.

Another possible museum is Alte Pinakothek, which focuses on the development of art from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance and the Baroque up to the end of the Rococo period. The collection comprises more than 700 artworks from the glittering eras of German, Flemish, Netherlandish, French, Italian and Spanish painting.
