3 Tour Highlights ART IN BERLIN Berlin has a reputation for being the New York of Europe, offering a wide range of museums and galleries that hold treasures both ancient and contemporary. Some of the highlights include masterpieces by Botticelli, Raphael, Caravaggio, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt and Vermeer at the Gemäldegalerie. We spend two days leisurely admiring the remarkable and vast collections at Museum Island. EAST AND WEST BERLIN In the quarter-century-plus since the Wall came down, Berlin has re-established itself as Germany s capital and gone through an urban and social transformation that has made it, once again, one of the most exciting cities in Europe. We explore this fascinating city with walks through the historic neighbourhoods of both East and West Berlin, including the Brandenburg Gate, where east met west during the Cold War. POTSDAM Spend a full day in Potsdam, known for its 18th-century baroque architecture, especially Frederick the Great s Sanssouci Park, the former residence of the Prussian royals. The town centre offers historical landmarks, charming boutiques, and café-lined cobblestone streets. Although it was severely damaged by bombing during World War II, much of the city has been restored to its former glory. LEIPZIG AND DRESDEN Travel through the scenic countryside to the charming old town of Renaissance Leipzig, which Göethe describes in Faust, as a little Paris. We spend time too in the elegantly restored city of Dresden, that has risen from the ashes, after devastating World War II bombing, regaining its reputation as the Florence on the Elbe. Each city offers impressive art collections at the Grassi Museum and the Zwinger Palace. REICHSTAG The symbol of Berlin s mash-up of old and new, the Reichstag building anchors central Berlin with a Sir Norman Foster designed glass dome atop of the 116-year old structure. Our tour ends with a farewell meal at the Reichstag at Restaurant Kafer. Afterwards, walk the gently rising ramp inside the glass dome, taking in the views of Berlin and the parliamentary chamber below.
