Set off on a one-of-a-kind adventure that blends the best of Berlin's highlights with an exploration of its rich Jewish heritage. Experience luxury, comfort, and flexibility as you delve into the city's history and culture.
Your journey begins right at the port in Warnemunde/Rostock, where you'll be welcomed and escorted to your exclusive private vehicle with a professional driver. Relax and enjoy the scenic drive through the picturesque landscapes of former East Germany as you make your way to Berlin (approximately 3 hours).
In Berlin, your expert English-speaking tour guide will meet you at the stunning Schloss Charlottenburg. Take a moment to stretch your legs and receive an introduction to the city's history, setting the stage for an unforgettable day. Then, hop back into your private vehicle and cruise through the heart of former West Berlin, passing iconic landmarks like the Kurfurstendamm and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, a testament to World War II's devastation.
As you drive via the Tiergarten and the impressive Victory Column, head toward the historic city center in the former East. Witness the Reichstag, a symbol of modern German democracy, and pass through the iconic Brandenburg Gate. Explore the hauntingly beautiful Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and visit the site of Hitler's Bunker, a chilling reminder of one of history's darkest chapters.
After a rejuvenating lunch break, your journey continues towards UNESCO-listed Museum Island, the Nikolaiviertel, Alexanderplatz, and the former Jewish Quarter, where you'll explore on foot. Discover the architectural wonders of the New Synagogue, Stolpersteine memorials, a former Jewish Girls school, and charming backstreets that reveal hidden treasures.
Your adventure takes you to Checkpoint Charlie, the renowned Cold War crossing point over the Berlin Wall. Finally, walk in the shadow of a preserved stretch of the Berlin Wall, a symbol of the Cold War's brutality.
