One of my favorite ways to see Berlin from a completely different perspective: take a one hour boat cruise through the city. You’ll see historic Berlin, modern architecture and some of the city’s most famous sights from the water.
A great addition to any Berlin private tour.

65 years ago today, the Berlin Wall was built.

On August 13, 1961, Berlin awoke to a city being divided. Streets were torn apart, families and friends were separated, and a wall that would come to symbolize the Cold War began to rise.

For the next 28 years, the Berlin Wall divided not only a city, but families, neighborhoods, and lives.

Today, 65 years later, the traces of that division are still all around us. In Berlin, history is never very far away.
