The route encompasses Berlin’s most significant historical and modern attractions, beginning with the remarkable transformation of Potsdamer Platz.

Travel along the prestigious Unter den Linden boulevard to Museum Island, home to world-class cultural treasures, and past notable stops including Bebelplatz, historic Friedrichstraße with ZDF Capital City Studios, and Madame Tussauds Berlin for celebrity encounters.
The highlight segment approaches the legendary Brandenburg Gate, passing diplomatic embassies from major world powers and the moving Holocaust Memorial. The route continues through Berlin’s modern government quarter, showcasing the glass-domed Reichstag and the impressive Hauptbahnhof central station, while offering unique views of the German Chancellery and Berlin’s playfully nicknamed “Fujiyama.”
The journey concludes through the expansive Tiergarten park, larger than New York’s Central Park, passing the distinctive Congress Hall and stopping at Bellevue Palace, the German President’s official residence, with magnificent views of the golden Victory Column statue.
