Brandenburg Gate. Our included sightseeing tour with local
English speaking guide will explain the changes which have
taken place since unification. We see the sights of former
West Berlin including the famous street, the Kurfürstendamm

newly refurbished Reichstag building, the home of the German
Parliament. We continue into former East Berlin where we see
the Cathedral, Humboldt University and the famous Unter den
Linden street. A day to remember. |
