A CITY A WEEK AND WHY...BERLIN

 A CITY A WEEK AND WHY... BERLIN

There are many ways to answer the question of 'WHY BERLIN'.  Indeed, Berlin may 

be one of the world's most layered cities--its many incarnations scraped away 

and continually added to over a 700 year history.  The current mix is very rich--contemporary art, modern architecture, evidences of the Cold War and of the 

dark, dark legacies of World War I and II…

and then there is Museum Island.  This UNESCO World Heritage Site is quite

 literally an island of museums surrounded by the River Spree.  

Together these five museums present a gorgeous, almost dizzying paean to classical notions of beauty.  The collections include the Pergamon Altar and the Ishtar Gate at the 

Pergamon and and Nefertiti at the Neues Museum.

We'll be traveling to Berlin this fall, September 14th to 20th.  The itinerary is not quite set  but we can tell you this--it will include Museum Island and much, much more. Please stay tuned and watch for 'Featured Trip' announcements.  

We think this is going to be a lot of fun.
