Deutsches Technikmuseum

The Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin is dedicated to showcasing the best in German innovations, technology and design. Over 100 large exhibits such as an American plane from the 1940s or some early motor cars take visitors on a journey through technological developments. The emphasis is on interactivity, and one of the museum's most popular exhibits sees visitors taking the helm of a ship simulator and trying to guide it into port. There is a dedicated children's section and recent innovation hasn't been neglected either as there is a large section of the museum dedicated to the history of home computing.

Berlin – the city of freedom

Berlin markets itself as the city of freedom and this is an apt description for this fascinating city. The tubulent history of a divided city during the Cold War is still ever present and the other main visitor attractions such as the Brandenburg Gate take visitors even further back into German history. The freedom enjoyed by Berliners in the 21st Century has turned it into one of Europe's most vibrant cities, with high culture at the world class museums on Museum Island, quirky attractions such as the Stasi museum and dozens of contemporary art galleries. Take a break from the crowds by climbing to the top of the cathedral for city views, or take a picnic to relax in the Tiergarten.

Located in a former industrial site close to Potsdamer Platz, the German Technology Museum has a wide range of technology from across the decades. Inside the museum, visit the separate wings dedicated to shipbuilding, aviation and maritime technology. Outside, in the parkland surrounding the museum, are two windmills, a water mill and a brewery, bringing to life the way people worked in the past. This is a fascinating museum and its interactive nature makes it a great day out for all ages.
