Berlin Christmas Markets

Berlin is the perfect choice for groups who want to combine a traditional market experience with a visit to one of Europe’s most vibrant cities. Berlin offers a choice of over 60 Christmas markets. Experience the great programme of cultural events available during the festive season.

Visit the Potsdamer Platz Winter Wonderland, a fabulous place for students to spend an evening with a range of exciting winter activities at ‘Boccia on ice’ on the Sony Centre’s 4000m2 event area.

Guided Tour of Berlin

Our City Representative, or one of her team, will take your group on a half-day tour of the key sights and provide a first-hand perspective of Berlin’s history and how life has changed for the city’s residents.

  • Berlin Wall: Students will see how East and West Berlin were divided for 28 years. Potsdamer Platz and the East Side Gallery are two of the remaining areas where it is still accessible to see a section of the wall.
  • The Reichstag: This impressive building, perhaps most recognisable due to its impressive glass dome, re-opened as the new seat of Federal Parliament in 1999. Here, students can learn about the building’s turbulent 114-year history.
  • The Brandenburg Gate: Berlin’s only remaining city gate and a symbol of unified Germany. The dramatic Quadriga that sits on top has a history as eventful as the city’s.

 

Olympic Stadium

Built for the 1936 Olympics, this is an excellent example of Nazi architecture. This is where the black American athlete, Jesse Owens, won four gold medals, supposedly infuriating Hitler because of his race.


Evening activities

  • Bowling
  • IMAX Cinema
  • Ice Skating
