Berlin by train: Wall of Fame with Lunch

Take a short walk from the ship to the exclusively chartered train from Warnemünde to Berlin, a journey that lasts approximately 2.5-3 hours. During your transfer to Berlin, your escort will provide you with general information and a refreshment as well as a light evening snack on the way back to Warnemünde. Visit some of the most spectacular Berlin wall sightings. Your tour guide will show you other major highlights of this metropolis including Gendarmenmarkt, Berlin Cathedral, Reichstag, Victory Column, Strasse des 17. Juni, Alexanderplatz and the impressive Holocaust Memorial. You will stop at one of the most chilling symbols of the cold war, the remaining wall in the Niederkirchnerstrasse. It is this stretch of the Berlin Wall that stood on what was once the headquarters of the Gestapo, the ‘house prison’, the Reich Security Main Office, as well as the Nazi SS High Command. Today, it is the Topography of Terror documentation center, an open-air exhibition documenting the history of this site. Next, is the East Side Gallery, an international memorial for freedom with its 4,265 ft. long section of the Berlin Wall that hosts 105 paintings by artists from all over the world. Checkpoint Charlie, the name given by the Western Allies, is next and you will have time here to enjoy the lively vibe of Friedrichstrasse. Brandenburg Gate is next, a symbol of increasing freedom in the Eastern Bloc. Enjoy a typical, pub-style German lunch (included) in a local Berlin restaurant. Afterwards, continue your exploration of Berlin, covering sights that you have not seen in the morning before starting your return journey to Warnemunde by train.
