Berlin to Paris Overview

Discover why artists, designers and musicians continue to make the pilgrimage to a city as famous for its progressive arts scene as for its tumultuous history. Delve into Berlin's turbulent past while visiting the crumbling remains of the Berlin Wall or, for a change of pace, wander the lush pathways of the Tiergarten. Gain a deeper insight into this city's history on a fascinating visit to the Checkpoint Charlie Museum and be sure to take the opportunity to visit some of Berlin's wealth of art galleries.

Take to the streets by bicycle and discover a city that once inspired Rembrandt and Van Gogh and continues to enchant visitors with its canals, bridges and parks. In free time, perhaps pick out some fresh blooms at the Bloemenmarkt, visit the wartime hiding place of Anne Frank or head to the Rijksmuseum to marvel at The Night Watch and other artistic masterpieces.

With its picturesque waterways, cobbled lanes, delicious waffles and dazzling array of beers, this 'Venice of the North' beckons. Take it all in on a boat ride through Bruges' winding canals. Later, there will be time to sample pralines from a local chocolatier, shop for delicate Flemish lace or just people watch in the atmospheric city square.

Enjoy a stroll along the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe - a Parisian experience not to be missed! Soak up the view from the Eiffel Tower, count the gargoyles adorning the Notre Dame Cathedral or shop up a storm at Galeries Lafayette - there's a bounty of things to do in this beautiful city.
