Itinerary
We meet at our Departure Office at St Pancras and take the Eurostar to Brussels, continuing by rail to Berlin for two nights. On Day 2 we embark on a guided tour of the once-divided city. We visit Brandenburg Gate - a symbol of unity in Germany - and the parliament building, the Reichstag. The rest of your day is free in Berlin, which despite its turbulent history, has evolved into a vibrant metropolis. While away the hours in a gallery, stroll through one of the city's parks, or find a beer garden to relax in.

This was quite a fast paced tour but very enjoyable and well worth the cost. The Intercontinental in Warsaw was superb but all hotels good on the whole. You must make your own judgement on Auschwitz - in my view it has become too commercialized. A far better depiction of the Holocaust is to be found in Schindler's Factory in Krakow.

WE ENJOY ALL OUR HOLIDAYS WITH GREAT RAIL. THE GROUP ARE ALWAYS INTERESTING AND FRIENDLY. THERE IS A PROBLEM HOWEVER WITH THE LOCATION OF SOME OF THE HOTELS, IN THIS CASE BERLIN- THE MARITIM IS A LOVELY HOTEL BUT THE NEAREST TRANSPORT WAS A 15 MINUTE WALK AND WHEN YOU HAVE ONLY ONE DAY AND HAVE TO FIND A RESTAURANT IN THE EVENING IT MEANS THAT MOST PEOPLE, MANY OF WHOM ARE NOT THAT MOBILE, EAT IN THE HOTEL
