Berlin is really a wonderful town which is full of excellent nightlife, fantastic shops, culture, art galleries and more. In many ways it’s the city which has got it all. Nevertheless it is so important to get out of the town from time to time and the decidedly fortunate fact of the matter is that getting out of Berlin could hardly be easier. The range of possible Berlin day trips is just another of the things that makes existence in the town so great. At only half an hour towards the southwest heading from Friedrichstrasse or Berlin Hauptbahnhof) is Potsdam, which is a really manageable day trip from Berlin. We provide a car hire Potsdam service.
The town itself is undergoing a rigorous period of redevelopment and several of its fine old buildings are now being rebuilt. But the primary draws are, undoubtedly, the city’s series of UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Babelsburg Park and its adjoining castle, the New Garden and also the fabulous Sanssouci Park with its elaborate rococo palace. Leipzig is another town that, at about 1 hr to the north by train is a manageable Berlin day trip. The town has a raft of excellent sights from the stunning Botanical Gardens – one of the oldest within the globe, the grand old Town Hall and a couple of museums and also the excellent Leipzig Zoo but perhaps the best time to go to the town on a day trip from Berlin is during December. We offer car hire Leipzig deals.
At this time the Market Square in front from the Town Hall comes alive with a marvelously festive Christmas Market which is ideal for Christmas shopping washed down with lashings of gluewein which is a heated winter wine. People who are searching for a bit of fresh air should head for the national park of the Mecklenburg Lake Plateau. A breathtaking landscape riddled with waterways and studded with over a thousand lakes as well as the occasional idyllic village is a walkers’ paradise. The whole region was carved out throughout the last ice age, and now stands among Germany’s most striking natural assets. At only 1 hr or so from Berlin, its striking peace, calm and mile after mile of unspoilt organic beauty remain the perfect antidote to hectic city life. Compare Car Hire Berlin prices today.
