School & College Tours to Berlin
Berlin is the heart of modern Germany, with grand public buildings, glorious museums and theatres, wide open spaces, parks and bustling squares. It is a cosmopolitan city with a turbulent past, rich in history and one of the most influential centres in European politics, culture and science.
The Berlin Wall divided the city itself into two, half belonging to the German Democratic Republic and half under the control of the Soviet Block. As a result almost every district has its own flavour and you can explore Berlin easily by foot, coach or public transport.
