Just arrived
in Berlin? Let's first have a walk to get a feel for the city!
You can see the historical sights along the Avenue Unter den Linden, Isle of
Museums to the Hackesche Market, the Cathedrals and the Synagogue. Berlin's new
attractions are contemporary, discover them walking with me from
the Centralstation (Hauptbahnhof) via Reichstag building to the
Potsdamer Platz.
Do you like shopping or art galleries? It's a pleasure along
the Friedrichstrasse with its beautiful new quarters or on the Boulevard
"Ku-damm" with its charming boutiques, especially in the side
streets, around Hackesche Market and in Berlins
neighbourhood.
In the evening you must go and see one of the cabarets or musicals and
experience one of the many famous nightclubs.
On the following day we can do a tour through Greater Berlin by motor vehicle,
finishing by boat along the rivers and canals.
Not enough yet? You can go on a relaxing excursion to Potsdam, the town of
romantic gardens and beautiful palaces or a trip to the Spreewald.
Are you interested? As your professional tourist guide in Berlin and
Brandenburg and tour guide in Germany, my intention is to make your time
over here exciting, informative and very memorable.
Here's wishing you a
heartfelt welcome to Berlin and to Germany. Let's plan it together!
Herzlich willkommen!

friendly guide in Berlin
