Berlin is Germany’s modern capital city, a fascinating European metropolis with a dramatic history in which contemporary architecture merges with the imposing character of a centuries-old city.

The Nokolai Quarter was built by the DDR government as a sort of old town, a European Disneyland for the city’s seven hundred and fiftieth anniversary, a popular area with ‘new’ mediaeval buildings that display various guilds and stone statues that surround the city’s oldest church. .

We travel to nearby Potsdam, a city of castles and gardens and with an old town that features a lively market atmosphere. When the monarchy settled there so did their armies and with them came craftsmen, merchants and artists from many countries. The castle-like Nauener Gate leads to the Russian colony of Alexandrowka and then to Belvedere on the Pfingst-Berg.

Returning to Berlin we embark on a trip at the Eastern Train Station on the Panorama S-Bahn whose carriages are equipped with large panoramic windows and marvellous views turn the journey intoa wonderful adventure.

The Olympia Stadium is still a gigantic and remarkable sight and for the eleventh Olympic Games in 1936 the Dritte Reich spared no expense.

A new city has emerged from its historic past, Berlin, a young metropolis of the third millennium that is increasingly becoming the centre of Europe. This metropolis with a heart is always worth a visit!
