From the foundation of the city, the nomination as the capital of Prussia until the dark chapter of the Third Reich. From the separation until the reunion, this city has seen a lot.

CONCERTS, EXCURSIONS AND ACCOMMODATION

Potential concerts include the Lindenkirche.

Berlin was bombed flat during the last great war, so old buildings and monuments are limited mostly to a few survivors and some huge restoration efforts.

Unter den Linden avenue is the throbbing spine of the city, running from the River Spree to the Brandenburg Gate. Berlin is multi-centred but this is a classic starting point for new tourists and offers many attractions nearby.

The Reichstag's rebuild is incredible and can be visited for free; the rooftop terrace provides superb views.

Pieces of the Berlin Wall are still visible.

Berlin's main Cathedral is impressive and fully restored. Gendarmenmarkt square is old and beautiful, while Potsdamer Platz, bohemian Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg are a fascinating mix of  old and spectacular new.

Accommodation would be in either 3* hotels, all with en suite facilities, or youth accommodation having twin-bedded rooms for adults and multi-bedded rooms for students.
