Berlin
The history of Berlin
Berlin, with its rich history that lasts for centuries, is a veritable stage for the European history. From the Prussian times to the Cold war, every corner of the city tells stories full of greatness, division, creativity and rebirth. After having become the capital of the unified Germany, Berlin has swifted the injuries from the past into symbols of peace and unity, as shown by the famous Berlin Wall and the Brandenburg Gate.
Climate and when to visit
Berlin's climate is continental, with cold winters and hot summers. The best season to visit the city is between spring and autumn, when the weather is mild and the days are long. These periods offer the ideal opportunity to explore Berlin's many parks and open-air spaces and to attend cultural events taking place in the city.
Attractions and places to visit
Berlin is a paradise for history and culture lovers. The city offers attractions such as the Reichstag, with its glass dome designed by Norman Foster and the impressive Museum Island complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The arts and culture scene is vibrant, with contemporary art galleries, theatres and live performance spaces. You can't leave Berlin without visiting Checkpoint Charlie and the Tiergarten park, or without exploring the districts of Kreuzberg and Prenzlauer Berg.
LOCAL CUISINE AND TYPICAL PRODUCTS
Berlin cuisine is a fascinating mix of tradition and innovation, where typical dishes such as the currywurst and the döner kebab coexist with international gastronomy. Markets such as the Markthalle Neun offer a variety of both local and international products, while historic pubs and modern cafés represent perfect places for tasting local specialities.
CONCLUSION: DEPART FROM BERLIN FOR A CRUISE
Although Berlin is famous for its land-based history and culture, it is also a great starting point for river cruises. Cruising on rivers such as the Spree and Havel, you can discover enchanting natural landscapes and historic cities. A cruise from Berlin allows you to combine the urban experience with the relaxation and pleasure of travelling on water, making a visit to the German capital a truly complete and unforgettable experience.

Hamburg
Hamburg is without a doubt the best city in Europe for seeing unique bridges. Its tourist sites are characterised by the typical bohemian style of the sailors and its port.
Just behind Berlin in terms of size and population, the city of Hamburg is home to one of the largest ports in Europe. You will understand why it is know as the 'Venice of the North', when you explore its many canals and waterways. Do not forget to take a trip to the fish market and to the merchants' district, where you will find unique architecture and impressive red brick buildings. Having a delicious dinner by the river or spending a night in the university district is a must.
Hamburg is a destination with many tourist attractions, especially its ancient port and the exclusive lake located in the city centre.
You should also be sure to visit the renowned Kunsthalle (north of the Hauptbahnhof). The Kunsthalle houses an art collection of international importance, covering everything from medieval portraits to 20th century minimalism.
The Rathaus, a neo-Renaissance style building, is home to Hamburg's city hall. When Parliament is not in session, several guided tours are available.
There are also big exhibitions and historical events that are great for tourists.
