Tours are an excellent way to get the lay of the city and then decide if any attractions in particular are worth exploring in more detail.

The Brandenburg Gate, the remains of the Berlin Wall and the many excellent galleries in the city are other great highlights for travellers in the German capital to experience.

The sights on the Alter Fritz Stadt und Schlösserrundfahrten Tour

This tour lasts approximately three hours and languages is available in English as well as German, Italian, French, Spanish and Dutch.
