Berlin Graffiti Workshop

Today, you will be participating in a graffiti workshop in Berlin, which is renowned as one of the graffiti capitals of the world.

It's a challenge to discover a spot in this vibrant city that hasn't been adorned with graffiti, tags, or vibrant spray-painted artwork. Graffiti has firmly established itself as an integral part of Berlin's art scene, serving as an expression of the city's unique character.

During the workshop, a skilled graffiti artist will not only impart various techniques but will also offer valuable insights into Berlin's graffiti and street art culture.

Potsdam

Today, you will embark on an 8-hour tour to explore the enchanting city of Potsdam!

Your knowledgeable guide and skilled driver will promptly pick you up at the hotel lobby.

Potsdam is renowned for its splendid palaces and meticulously landscaped parks, both of which have earned UNESCO World Heritage status, harkening back to its days as the former royal capital of Prussia. During this captivating tour, you'll be treated to the city's finest attractions, including the iconic Glienicke Bridge. This historic bridge links Potsdam to Berlin and holds a fascinating chapter in history, serving as the clandestine meeting point for the exchange of secret agents and spies during the Cold War.

Your next stop will be Cecilienhof Palace, the final castle constructed by the Hohenzollern dynasty. In 1945, this palace hosted the Potsdam Conference, where the four victorious powers made crucial decisions regarding the division of Berlin and Germany. Following this, you'll visit the charming Dutch Quarter and the renowned Nauener and Brandenburg Gates.

Continuing on, you will arrive at the illustrious Sanssouci Palace. No other castle is as intimately linked with Frederick the Great as Sanssouci. It served as his summer residence, and the name Sanssouci, meaning "without worries," embodies the king's philosophy and guiding principle. Here, the king preferred to surround himself with his closest confidants, the intellectual elite of his court, and enlightened scholars and writers hailing from Italy and France.

Admission to the castles is included in this exceptional tour, ensuring you experience the full grandeur and historical significance of Potsdam's treasures. ...read less

The best guides, the best experiences, and the best service in every country

My wife and I have used Yampu 4 or 5 times now to plan our travel for us. They have access to the best guides, the best experiences, and the best service in every country we’ve used them to visit – from Portugal to Cambodia and from Peru to Iceland. This most recent trip to Iceland was perfect. Two days in Reykjavik, where we did a walking tour of the city, a food tour, the Fly Over Iceland experience, and some shopping and relaxing. Then 2 nights at the Retreat Spa – which is a very special experience in itself that is hard to describe – and then two nights in the countryside where our private guide took us to all of the main attractions on the Golden Circle and South Coast. Private guides mean no waiting, front row parking and VIP access everywhere, and wonderful knowledgeable guides without a lot of time herding on and off of buses and going places that may not interest you. It is a bit more expensive, although not as much as you might think, often less than a high end group tour — without the group. Yampu has planned each trip just for us, exactly what we want to do, and not anything we don’t – and it has always worked out great – highly recommend.
