Express: Departure K-Town: Berlin Festival of Lights

Your trip begins with a direct overnight drive by bus from Kaiserslautern to Berlin.

On arrival, we’ll kick off the day with an included breakfast buffet followed by a walking tour around Berlin. You will get the chance to see some of Berlin’s most iconic sights up close, including the Brandenburg Gate (the symbol of a reunited Berlin) and parts of the original Berlin Wall, where you’ll learn about the role the city played during several of the most significant historical events of the 20th century. You will also stand side by side with Checkpoint Charlie, which marks the most famous crossing point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War. Following the tour, you’re free to explore Germany’s magnificent capital, before meeting up for our exciting optional activities:

Guided Optional Activity in the afternoon – Berlin River Cruise

Following the optional cruise, you’re free to explore Germany’s magnificent capital, where you’ll also be able to soak up the atmosphere of Berlin’s annual Festival of Lights, when this otherwise dark city is illuminated by breathtaking light art!
