(Day 4 was spent mostly traveling from London > Berlin. In the afternoon, we went to Alexanderplatz, ate bratwurst, shopped for Christmas ornaments and browsed Berlin department store Galeria Kaufhof. In the evening we went to a favorite Austrian restaurant, Gasthaus Alt Wien, where we had traditional dishes like schnitzel and goulash.)

Our first full day in Berlin was kicked-off by a three-hour tour with Magic Bus Berlin, a delightful independent tour company, owned by Jens (a limousine driver turned history enthusiast) who ferried us around town in a bright-yellow VW van. We saw all of Berlin’s greatest hits through a panoramic roof: the Reichstag, Victory Column, Brandenburg Gate, TV Tower, Eastside Gallery, Museum Island, Olympic Stadium, Charlottenburg Palace, Checkpoint Charlie…you name it.
