Classic Berlin Full Day Tour
An Extended View of Berlin
DURATION: UP TO 8-HOURS
Discover the capital of Germany! Along with your English-speaking driver, this full day tour will give you an overview of Berlin; from the medieval to the modern. Monuments, castles, and landmarks line the streets of this fantastic city that you will not want to miss.
This full day overview will give you a balanced display of Berlin's diverse and multifaceted history. Take a stroll down the Kurfürstendamm avenue which is lined with a variety of shops, restaurants, automobile showrooms, and fashion designer boutiques and head down the iconic Unter den Linden Boulevard towards the Pariser Platz where you can take in the enormity of the Brandenburg Gate (which becomes even more spectacular during the evening when it's illuminated).
For those who would like to take in some history Berlin is home to several monuments in memory of fallen Jews during the Holocaust as well as Check Point Charlie of Cold War infamy. See the remains of the Berlin Wall which one divided this city, the fall of which would catapault Germany's reunification and return to prosperity, as well as Berlin's return as the country's capital. Another highlight for those history buffs will undoubtradely be the famed Reichstag. Though largely reduced to a ruin by the Allied invasion of Berlin marking the end of World War II, the building's edifice remained largely intact. Reconstruction was hindered by the Cold War, but was finally completed in 1999, and is now the seat of Germany's parliament.
