Luxury Travel: Christmas in Berlin, Germany
  • "Take a trip to historic Berlin, where the echoes of the past resonate through the Brandenburg Gate, the remnants of the Berlin Wall, and the unforgettable stories at Checkpoint Charlie. Also worth a visit is Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site that is home to five major museums. It's an intellectual feast for art and history lovers."

    Craig Martin
    Streeter & Turner Travel Associates, Christchurch
  • "Germany is the ultimate destination to combine the magic of a river cruise with the enchantment of Christmas markets. Imagine sipping on glühwein as your boat drifts past towns aglow with holiday lights, then stopping to explore the festive stalls that line the riverbanks—from Nuremberg's famous Christkindlesmarkt to Dresden's Striezelmarkt. Pure perfection!"
