Sightseeing Travel Guide

Germany is one of those countries that you have to visit at least once, whether it’s for Oktoberfest or for a sightseeing tour in Berlin or Hamburg.  You can bike around the city of Berlin on the Berlin City Bike Tour to learn about the founding of the city and Hitler’s reign.  On this tour you will stop at several memorials including one dedicated to the murder of European Jews and another for the Soviet War.  You will also see part of the original Berlin Wall, which is now painted with graffiti.  This is an excellent way to get the ‘lay of the land’ and essentially walk through history if you can handle the emotional tributes along the way.

For a more laid back tour of the area, take the Berlin City Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour so you can see the city your way.  You will circle around the city center and stop at up to 15 landmarks depending on your interests.  Passengers can stay on the bus for the entire trip or they can stop off and spend some time at each location.  It would be impossible to talk about each of the stops on the tour, but some of the best ones in my book are the Berlin Wall (or what remains of it), Museum Island - the northern half of which is dedicated to art and science museums - and Reichstag, where the German legislature met from 1894-1933 and from 1999 to present.

To take a look at two cities in one package, try the Berlin City & Hamburg City Combination Tour.  You can choose the order in which you see the cities, and this will determine your route.  See Berlin on a hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour to 15 different landmarks.  You have the freedom to decide when and where you will leave and rejoin the tour.  You can go check out the Berlin Museum for a while and then come back to see the Palace Bellevue.  There are so many choices on this tour that you will get to see everything you want and even learn about some places you didn’t know about before.

For the Hamburg part of the tour, you will travel by double decker bus and stop at sites such as St. Pauli entertainment district and der Michel, the most famous church in the city.  Your return ticket is valid for up to 4 months so you can stay in Hamburg for a while or return to Berlin the same day.  Do not miss the chance to explore the second largest European port and Germany’s second largest city.  It is definitely worth the trip.
