Berlin ~ An Insider’s Perspective
Once separated into East and West, today Berlin is a marvel to behold. Explore this wonderful city’s cultural heritage, from palaces to parks and cathedrals to museums. Visit the symbolic Brandenburg Gate, the Pariser Platz, and the modern-style Federal Chancellery. Travel along the fashionable Unter den Linden and Kurfürstendamm boulevards. Visit the Reichstag for an insider’s look at Germany’s Parliament, and view classical antiquities at the Pergamon Museum. Travel to Potsdam to visit the rococo Sanssouci Palace, with its terraced gardens and expansive park, and Cecilienhof Palace, the setting for the Potsdam Conference. See the rooms where Churchill, Stalin, and Truman decided the fate of post-World War II Germany. Go behind the scenes of the Berlin Philharmonic to learn about this focal point of Berlin’s world-class music tradition, and attend a concert. Commemorate John F. Kennedy’s famous “Ich bin ein Berliner!” speech at Schöneberg Town Hall.
