Why this tour?

  1. to discover medieval fortresses and neo-Gothic castles
  2. to visit two of Europe's most admired capitals
  3. to discover Dresden, "the Florence of the East"

It is no coincidence that Dresden is also known as the "Florence on the Elbe". Its rich art collections, together with its imposing architectural monuments, have always made this city Germany's artistic and cultural centre and earned it fame the world over. It is the capital and second-largest city (after Leipzig) of the state of Saxony. It stands on the River Elbe, whose valley (a 20-kilometre stretch running through the city) has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also known for having suffered one of the most terrible bombings in human history, on 14 February 1945, which destroyed the entire city centre and caused thousands of deaths. The bombing was and still is heavily contested and is regarded as a war crime, since Dresden, famous as a city of art, had no military installations and was not a target of sufficient strategic interest to justify such an action. But Dresden is also one of Europe's greenest cities, with parks, gardens and cycle paths running along the river the whole length of the city.


Berlin between past and present.

Giving an impression of Berlin in a few lines is impossible. Over the centuries, the political and cultural importance of this city has produced an impressive number of monuments and museums. Berlin has always been culturally very lively, and today it is more so than ever. Moreover, since reunification in 1990 it has been changing radically: a city paralysed by 40 years of division is turning into one of Europe's most fascinating capitals. Following the decision to move the seat of Parliament and government from Bonn to Berlin, the city is experiencing enormous urban, architectural and cultural development. In 1650, when Rome, Paris, London, Madrid, Prague and Moscow were already major capitals, Berlin was still a small provincial town of barely 6,000 inhabitants, with no monuments of interest. Even within Germany, despite being the capital of the Mark Brandenburg region, it was little known. Cities such as Nuremberg, Augsburg, Mainz, Cologne, Hamburg and Lübeck were far more important. The surprising and rapid rise of Prussia, which between 1650 and 1800 became one of Europe's great political and military powers, gave a major boost to the development of Berlin, which had meanwhile become the capital of that state. But only since becoming the capital of a united Germany, in 1871, can Berlin truly be considered one of Europe's most important metropolises. Indeed, most of the historic buildings we admire in Berlin today were built between the late 18th and early 20th centuries. Yet almost all of them were rebuilt, or at least restored, after the devastating destruction of the Second World War, which turned the city into a vast field of rubble. That is precisely why it is so surprising to see how little has changed compared with postcards from the early 1900s: the effectiveness of its reconstruction is astonishing! Some monuments, on the other hand, have been left as they were after the war, as places of remembrance, lest we forget (the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church or the Anhalter Bahnhof railway station), while other places are unrecognisable compared with how they looked 100 years ago (Potsdamer Platz or Alexanderplatz).

The deep wounds left by the Berlin Wall which, for 28 years (1961-1989), divided and tore the city apart have almost all healed; in some places it has become almost impossible to tell exactly where the Wall once stood.
