Hello everyone, I would like to explore Berlin together with a few other people and have fun. What I think we should definitely see: - Remains of the Berlin Wall - Brandenburg Gate - Museum Island - Victory Column - Berlin Underworlds - What's under the city? - Teufelsberg (highest mountain in Berlin, located in the forest area) - Berlin television tower - Berlin government district - Humboldt Forum in Berlin - Tiergarten Here are a few facts about the city: - With around 3.7 million inhabitants, the city is the most populous and, at 892 square kilometers, the largest municipality in Germany. The city state consists of twelve districts. In addition to the rivers Spree, Havel and Dahme, there are smaller watercourses as well as numerous lakes and forests in the city area. - Berlin is considered a cosmopolitan city of culture, politics, media and science. - Berlin is one of the leading locations for the information and creative industries in Europe. - Berlin is an internationally outstanding center of the arts and enjoys the reputation of a European cosmopolitan city. As a production site for various branches of the creative industries, the metropolis is a magnet for creative artists. - Berlin is home to several orchestras: the internationally renowned Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Berlin, the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, the Rundfunkchor Berlin and the RIAS Kammerchor. These ensembles perform in the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Berlin Philharmonie and other halls in Germany or on tours around the world. I have calculated an approximate price that includes accommodation, transportation in the city and entrance fees. If you have any questions, please contact me!
I prefer to travel in a small group rather than alone because I think it has some advantages. I already know Berlin, but you can always experience and discover new things there. I like to plan, but I also have no problem spontaneously deviating from the plan.
The plan is to rent an apartment. That depends a bit on how big our group will be and whether there are any special requests. If there is no trade fair taking place, we could also book a few rooms in a bed and breakfast. If you have any specific accommodation requirements, please write to me. I haven't booked anything yet, but will only do so in consultation with the participants.

This ship has sailed!
Unfortunately this trip has commenced or been completed already. But don't worry! We have a lot more similar trips that you could check out.
We arrive on the first day, settle into our apartment and set off to get a first impression of the city. For example, we visit the government district with the Reichstag. In the evening, we can then go to a bar or watch cabaret, for example. We can discuss the details together. Anyone can make suggestions :)

Brandenburger Tor
Day 4
Today we can take a guided tour of the city. The Brandenburg Gate would certainly be a highlight. But Berlin has much, much more to offer (for example: Museum Island or Tempelhofer Feld ...). We will also be able to marvel at some of them. Here is some more information about the Brandenburg Gate. This is one of the city's landmarks: The Brandenburg Gate in Berlin is an early classicist triumphal gate that stands on the western flank of the square Pariser Platz in Berlin's Mitte district. It was built between 1789 and 1793 at the behest of the Prussian King Frederick William II on the basis of designs by Carl Gotthard Langhans as the end of the central boulevard of the Dorotheenstadt, the boulevard Unter den Linden. The sculpture of the Quadriga crowning the gate was designed by the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow. To the west of the Brandenburg Gate are the extensive green spaces of the Großer Tiergarten, which are crossed by the Straße des 17. Juni in a straight extension of Unter den Linden. The square directly west of the gate is called Platz des 18. März.

Grunewald
Day 4
Today we visit the largest forest in Berlin and climb the Teufelsberg. There are still remains of the former US listening station from the Cold War, when the city was still divided. The view of the city is really worth it. Afterwards, we visit the Humboldt Forum, which offers numerous cultural and scientific attractions. After dinner, we still have time to immerse ourselves in the nightlife. Here is some more information about Grunewald and Teufelsberg: The Grunewald is a forest area of around 3000 hectares in the western Berlin districts of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and Steglitz-Zehlendorf. The forest gives its name to the villa colony, the Grunewald district, the Grunewald S-Bahn station and the local Grunewald forestry office of Berliner Forsten. The Grunewald forest is bordered to the west by the Havel. It is crossed by a chain of smaller lakes, the Grunewald chain of lakes named after it. The largest of these are Grunewaldsee, Schlachtensee and Krumme Lanke. The Grunewald Tower is located on the Karlsberg on the banks of the Havel. The Grunewald area is also home to the old Grunewald-Forst cemetery and the second-highest elevation in Berlin at 120.1 m above sea level (after the Arkenberge): Teufelsberg, which was heaped up from rubble from the Second World War.

Gesundbrunnen
Day 4
On the last day, we visit the television tower and then the city's underworlds. Many bunkers date back to the war period in particular. A special association offers guided tours here. Founded in 1997, the Berliner Unterwelten association is dedicated to a special chapter of the city's history. It researches buildings in Berlin's underground and makes them accessible in guided tours. In Berlin's bunker complexes you can learn, for example, how people tried to escape through tunnels or the sewers during the time of division or what the "ghost stations" were all about. One of the tours ("Dark Worlds") leads into a former civil defense bunker in the Gesundbrunnen subway station, which the association rented in 1998. Around 1,300 Berliners were supposed to find refuge in this bunker, which was built into the subway tunnel in 1941/42, during bombing raids. In fact, there were often more than three times that number. In the originally preserved complex with steel doors and ventilation system, you can imagine how oppressive it must have been to hold out in the cramped, stuffy rooms. On four floors, the association displays evidence of other underground Berlin facilities such as the pneumatic tube system, the brewery cellars and the sewage system.
