Berlin
The city of Berlin has been in the midst of rapid regeneration in the last few years and in the west, super-modern buildings provide a backdrop for a dynamic and cosmopolitan city that it has a distinctly new millennial outlook. The east, meanwhile, is a model of twenty-first century urban development - the grey communist concrete has been replaced with gleaming new structures that look to the city's future rather than dwelling on the past. Enjoy a half day walking tour of Berlin with private English speaking guide. Discover Potsdam and Sansucci Palace with a shared tour.
