Berlin Family city Breaks - Accessible, iconic history
It may be a magnet for young hedonists and hard core clubbers, yet Berlin extends its youthful exuberance to a fabulous array of attractions for young families in addition to its stately monuments and iconic art. Teenagers will appreciate its era defining recent history and turbulent past in a number of museums and inspiring monuments. No family city break in Berlin will want to miss visiting the symbolic Brandenberg Gate, the monumental Reichstag or the evocative image of Checkpoint Charlie. The museum quarter provides plenty of constructive fun with hands on science and technology exhibits, pop art collections and interesting historic artefacts.
Berlin Family City Breaks - Relaxing fun in the countryside
Recent years have seen unprecedented reconstruction in Berlin but it still retains its verdant heart and is in fact one of the greenest cities in Europe. This offers a world of fun and adventure for family days out and plenty of opportunity to slow down the pace and simply relax in beautiful surroundings. Escape the city noise at Kreuseberg for a summer picnic or barbeque and listen to local bands and classical ensembles. Kids can occupy themselves in the amusement park, playing mini golf or in the open air cinema. An even better option during a family city break in Berlin is to head to the forests of Grunnewald. Summer short breaks can revel in pony rides and boating and mid winter sees adventurous cross country skiing and sledging and ice skating on its lakes. It is also home to rich birdlife, wild boar and foxes.
Berlin Family City Breaks - Exciting teen sports
More exotic wildlife comes courtesy of world famous Berlin Zoo, which is home to the equally celebrated Knut Knut - a majestic polar bear. The zoo itself is beautifully designed with many exotic touches and features train rides, a hands on city farm and aquarium. Hyperactive teens can get their fill of adrenaline fuelled fun at Mellowpark, a vibrant recreational park for skating, BMX biking and skateboarding and Berlin family city breaks can even enjoy sedate beach life and sunbathing at the beautiful lake of Wannsee. The Whitsun weekend is the ideal time to visit Berlin with the kids during the celebrated Carnival of Cultures. Over half a million attend street parties, concerts and costumed processions which also boast a dedicated children's stage and plenty of enchanting entertainment.
