A full day in Berlin and its Christmas markets

We’ll start our tour in the cheerful Scheunenviertel neighborhood.  One of the most interesting sites in this quarter is the Hackesche Höfe complex, a series of eight interior, interconnecting courtyards bordered with former working-class homes.  In the Jewish Quarter, we’ll see the old and new synagogues and the Jewish cemetery where Moses Mendelssohn is buried.

We’ll enjoy lunch in a local restaurant. Spend some free time this afternoon at the Christmas market in the Alexanderplatz, a must-see site in Berlin. The market includes some incredible scenes, such as the beautifully lit, giant Christmas pyramid and the rows of tiny chalet stands with handmade gifts. Our last stop will be the city’s television tower, where you’ll be transported to the top in only 40 seconds to step out onto the observation platform for a fantastic 360° view of the city at night.
