berlin-en
Welcome to Berlin!
Berlin features more than 60 Christmas Markets, and the city will welcome us in all its Christmas splendour. We will have plenty of time to enjoy the markets, shopping streets, attractions and menues during our stay.
We will get better acquainted with the city during our city sightseeing on Saturday. Two groups have also signed up for one of our two optional Sunday activities : a tour of the Berlin Unterwelten or a Trabi Safari through the city.
Some of Berlin's finest restaurants will serve us German delicatessen and if you need a relaxing break during the weekend, you might wanna try the Steigenberger Hotel's Thalgo Spa.
Enjoy Berlin!
