The oldest and largest public observatory in Germany is home to the longest moveable refracting telescope on earth - 21 metres! The observatory museum contains the permanent exhibition “Astronomy is Observing and Measuring”, alongside temporary exhibitions highlighting different subjects tracing the history of astronomy. Other attractions include the historic Einstein room, the small Zeiss planetarium and a giant iron meteorite.

In the Life Science Learning Lab “Gläsernes Labor”, students can carry out fascinating genetic and cell biological experiments, experience research in action and explore current applications in medicine and biotechnology.
Students can take part in simple genetic experiments in the labs - 4 hour sessions include isolating DNA from a tomato; simulating forensic DNA analysis or gene transfer with plasmids.

Located at the very heart of the city on the Alexanderplatz, the Berlin TV tower is part of German history: in the sixties the East German government had the TV tower built to demonstrate the strength and efficiency of the socialist party system. Today the tower, Berlin’s highest structure, shapes the skyline of the German capital city and has fantastic views - and serves as a landmark of the reunited Germany. Your group can pinpoint the many landmarks and attend the free exhibition. Groups can also take part in an immersive 15 min VR experience and time travel through 9 centuries of Berlin's history.

Take a cruise along the River Spree on this tour and see all the major attractions of the city while learning about the intriguing history of Berlin.

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.

The large indoor market in the centre of the city is an ideal place to put language skills to the test and pick up a bargain or two.

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.

Groups can visit the fabulous cinema at Potsdamer Platz. Bowling Am Schillerpark. This bowling alley is the most popular of four available in Berlin. 

This large, action-packed swimming complex has a pool with diving boards. It also has an outdoor pool, slide and whirlpools.

This indoor tropical beach, which lies outside of the city, is home to water slides, lagoons and miniature golf, as well as the world’s largest indoor rainforest.

The Museum of Natural History in Berlin offers you an exciting insight into the natural world. You can follow the development of life on our planet and discover how different forms of life evolve. Be astonished by prehistoric animals, birds and the legendary polar bear Knut. One highlight is encountering the world's largest dinosaur skeleton. Even more spectacular is Tristan Otto, a gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex.

In both the spaceship and the space control centre, students will slip into various roles, including: space travel expert, meteorologist, engine specialist, commander and air traffic controller. During the mission, they'll be able to see how our planet is changing, observe the weather and learn more about satellites. In addition, some students will be given important research tasks, such as examining the electromagnetic spectrum of the sun, discovering the components of space probes that they discover, calculating the speed of light and experimenting with vacuums. 

The Futurium – Berlins centre for shaping the future – is located in the heart of the city. The unique building hosts an exhibition with vivid scenarios, an interactive hands-on laboratory, and an event forum as a place of dialogue all under one roof. The Futurium gives its visitors a glance into the world of tomorrow.
