Discover the history, glamour, and allure of beautiful Berlin, Germany.
Classic Vacations is offering a luxurious travel package to this fascinating city starting at around $2,000 per person for five nights, including airfare.
Stay in the heart of Berlin at the legendary Hotel Adlon Kempinski, which this year is celebrating its 100th Anniversary. A magnificent jewel in the city when it was built in 1907, the hotel was badly damaged in World War II, but has been meticulously restored to its former spender. There are 394 richly appointed rooms and suites, some overlooking the grand neo-classical Brandenburg Gate, the last remaining formal entrance to Berlin. The soaring marble lobby is topped by a stained-glass dome and features a stunning Art Nouveau fountain. Enjoy fine cuisine at Lorenz Adlon, one of two gourmet restaurants in the hotel, or have drinks in the elegant winter garden, which once hosted some of Berlin's finest balls.

You'll be within walking distance to some of Berlin's best attractions, such as the 630-acre Tiergarten, the city's largest park. Explore the lush grounds where you'll find quiet paths, historic statues, and stately palaces. Visit the Bauhaus Archiv-Museum, which charts the history of the world-renowned design school, or hear a performance by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra at the nearby Philharmonie.
Don't miss one of Berlin's most important sites, the Reichstag. Built in the late 19th century as the House of Parliament, the building was where Adolf Hitler rose to dictatorial power. Refurbished in 1999, it's once again home to the German Parliament and many sections are open to the public.
