Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Two dynamic, historic cities are showcased on this all-day adventure. Travel by motorcoach on an approximately 2 ½ - hour ride to Berlin. Once in Berlin, visit the ground where the Berlin Wall once stood. Admire the 18th-century Brandenburg Gate and see the famed Checkpoint Charlie. From there, it only takes you 45-minutes by motorcoach to get to the city of Potsdam created by Prussian Kings via the first Prussian Highway, Royal Route No. 1. This baroque enclave is home to several noted landmarks, including the New Palais, the grand estate Sanssouci, and a charming Dutch Quarter with over 100 red-brick buildings. Your drive takes you over the River Havel on the Bridge of Glienicke, famous for having been the location to exchange spies during the Cold War. Your tour concludes with some refreshing snacks on a motorcoach ride back to port.
