Sightseeing Trips
| To enable you to get the most out of your time in Berlin we offer a selection of sightseeing trips which will take place at the end of the conference. |
Jewish Life Berlin The New Synagogue on Oranienburger Strasse which houses the Centrum Judaicum, is one of the most important locations and a beautiful landmark on the Berlin skyline. In 1943, the building was severely damaged in air raids, and the main chamber of the synagogue was demolished in 1958. Restoration started in the late 1980's (GDR times) and was completed early 90s but you can still see traces of war-damage even in the renovated part. The triangle between the new Synagogue, Oranienburger Strasse and Grosse Hamburger Strasse used to be the centre of Berlin´s Jewish life. We will give you a context for the history of this area and the synagogue's place in it. |
Television Tower We will lead you to the second tallest tower in Europe and the undisputed major landmark of the unified city. There is a legend that the height was prescribed by Walter Ulbricht so that every school child could remember it: 365 metres high, one metre for every day of the year. The sphere on the tower covers seven storeys, two of which are open to the public. Join this for a haunting view of Berlins skyline in the only revolving café. |
City Bus Tour Bus tour with an English speaking guide during which you will see the most important historic sights of Berlin as well as some of the interesting new developments that are happening in this rapidly developing city. |
