Paris and Berlin Vacation

• Flight from Paris to Berlin
• 3 nights of standard accommodations at the 4.5-star Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz Hotel or similar in Berlin

• Add roundtrip private transfers in each city from $200 more per person

Paris

Every visitor to Paris eventually finds the Seine river, which bisects the city on its route from Dijon in the Alps out to the English Channel. Centuries-old bridges span the iconic waterway, linking the once-bohemian Left Bank to the Right Bank. Several of Paris’s most revered attractions sit directly on the riverfront, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre-Dame Cathedral, which is located on the Seine’s oblong-shaped isle, Île de la Cité.

• Musée d’Orsay displays masterpieces by Monet and Toulouse-Lautrec, along with van Gogh’s Starry Night.
• The Catacombs: Flickering lanterns cast light on carefully arranged skulls and bones in these narrow underground passageways that served as solutions to overcrowded cemeteries in the early 1800s.
• Eat like a local: Croque madame isn’t your average grilled ham and cheese. The traditional lunch dish is served open faced, with a poached egg on top. For dessert, indulge in butter- and sugar-soaked crepes at a street-side bistro.

Berlin

Germany’s capital city is also the country’s cultural epicenter. Be sure to see its historic landmarks, which include the stately Reichstag building and the Brandenburg Gate, a neoclassical arch that was inspired by the Acropolis in Athens.

• Charlottenburg Palace: This 18th-century behemoth dazzles with priceless porcelain displayed on gilded walls and crystal chandeliers that illuminate paintings by French masters.
• Neues Museum: Ancient mummies and a bust of Queen Nefertiti are among this museum’s rare finds. Buy tickets online to avoid long lines.
• Eat like a local: German food offers all sorts of ways to savor pork—dig into a sauerkraut-steamed pork knuckle or take a bite out of a ketwurst, which resembles a hot dog coated in ketchup and fitted into a flaky roll.
