Germany is a year-round destination. The Christmas markets are particularly fun and great for getting into the festive spirit. The country looks particularly beautiful in spring and summer, and some of the best weather for sight-seeing can be had in autumn, when days are generally mild and clear.

Itinerary

Day 1 - 6
  • Berlin

    At a Glance

    Day 1: Arrival in Berlin

    Your driver meets you at Berlin airport for a seamless transfer to your hotel. Once settled, an introductory walk with your guide offers initial bearings, the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, and Gendarmenmarkt provide context for the days ahead. This gentle opening allows you to arrive at your own rhythm whilst beginning to understand the layered history of Germany's capital.

    Day 2: From Third Reich to Cold War

    Your expert guide leads a full-day exploration. Choose walking pace or private driver, tracing Berlin's darkest and most transformative era. Stand at the Reichstag where democracy fell, the Holocaust Memorial where millions are remembered, and Hitler's bunker site where the regime ended. Continue to Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall Memorial, connecting wartime devastation to Cold War division. It's an intensive day, made comprehensible through your historian's careful narrative.

    Day 3: Sachsenhausen Memorial

    Journey an hour north to Sachsenhausen, the SS model concentration camp where 200,000 were imprisoned. Your two-hour guided tour reveals the camp's role as a training ground for Nazi brutality, the mass shooting facility where 18,000 Soviet prisoners died, and the death march evacuation as liberation neared. The experience is profoundly affecting; afterwards, time for quiet reflection acknowledges the weight of what you've witnessed.

    Day 4: Potsdam's Dual Legacy

    Explore Potsdam's UNESCO-listed palaces, Frederick the Great's Sanssouci and the vast New Palace represent Prussian grandeur. Yet today's focus extends beyond Baroque splendour to Cecilienhof, where the "Big Three" redrew Europe's map in 1945. Visit the House of the Wannsee Conference, where the Final Solution's logistics were coordinated. Your guide contextualises both settings, showing how historic beauty and historical horror coexist in German memory.

    Day 5: Jewish Berlin Past & Present

    Walk the Scheunenviertel's streets where Yiddish theatre once thrived, visit Moses Mendelssohn's grave, and see the New Synagogue's restored dome. Your guide reveals layers: pre-war Jewish life, Holocaust devastation, the Women's Protest that freed imprisoned husbands, and today's vibrant community rebuilt by Russian immigrants and young Israelis. Conclude at Daniel Libeskind's deliberately disorienting Jewish Museum, where architecture itself conveys loss and absence.
