Begin your day with a scenic escorted train ride through the North German countryside, passing wide fields, green forests and lovely villages. During the approximately 2.5-hour trip, your escort will provide a snack and water.
Upon arrival in Berlin, meet your city guide on the train platform and board the sightseeing motorcoach.
An introductory panoramic sightseeing drive leads you to the city center East and includes photo stops at the Brandenburg Gate, the remnants of the Berlin Wall passing by Checkpoint Charlie.
Lunch is served at a traditional German restaurant.
Visit one of the city's most spectacular buildings -- the Reichstag parliament building. Atop the building, right next to Sir Norman Foster's futuristic glass cupola, you will find the Käfer restaurant. Enjoy a glass of German sparkling wine while taking in the superb view of the city with breathtaking views of the Pariser Platz and the Brandenburg Gate. You will also have the opportunity to wander about and inspect the famous glass cupola.
You will also have approximately 30 minutes of free time to shop and explore the Hackesche Höfe courtyard complex, located in the trendy Mitte District.
Relax and enjoy the rail journey back to the ship at Warnemünde, with a light snack, at the end of the day.
