European Vacations to Berlin
Berlin is a great place to start your European vacations. Perhaps the most popular landmark in the city is the Berlin Wall, a partition that used to separate East Germany from West Germany which was torn down in 1989, signifying a new era for the nation. You can still view what's left of the wall by walking along the southern border of Wedding. A segment of the wall was restored at the Gedenksttte Berliner Mauer, located near the documentation center where stories of people who attempted to cross the wall are kept. Many visitors go to the former border crossing of the Sandkrugbrcke and lay flowers on a stone that commemorates the first person to be shot dead while fleeing the East. If you want to know more about the Wall and its history, head to the museum at the Haus am Checkpoint Charlie. The best place for afternoon kaffee und kuchen, a popular Berlin tradition for coffee and cake, is the picturesque Prenzlauer Berg district of Mitte.
European Vacations to Medieval Stockholm
Since over three quarters of a millennium ago, when Stockholm was born, there has been a settlement in Gamla Stan the Old City. As early as 1252, pillaging raids abounded in the winding medieval alleyways, small town squares, ancient churches and of course, the Royal Palace. Nowadays, instead of horses or donkeys with carriages on the streets, you can find bus tours galore with tourists from all over the world. To see the sights at your own pace, stay away from the main streets and explore the quaint side streets on your European vacations. You'll see how Sweden has come along since the ancient times when you visit Stadshuset, the City Hall. It is Stockholms most prominent landmark that hosts some of the worlds most respected individuals at its annual Nobel Prize banquet. Other must-see attractions in Stockholm include the 10,000-pipe organ, the inspiring Golden Hall where Swedish history is depicted by 18 million gold leaf pieces on wall mosaics, and the Council Chamber which looks like an open roof of a Viking longhouse.
