Baroque Art in the City of Dresden
Your journey continues today with a guided sightseeing tour of the city of Dresden. Before World War II, Dresden was known as "The Jewel Box" for its magnificent art treasures and Baroque architecture.

Tauck's private tour through the New Green Vault takes in Renaissance and Classicist treasures, including jeweled gems of gold, silver, ivory and mother of pearl. The afternoon and evening are free to explore on your own.
Dresden at leisure & on to Berlin
Spend the morning in Dresden pursuing what interests you most, perhaps exploring one of the city's renowned museums. Travel to Berlin for a three-night stay at a five-star hotel in the heart of the German capital, overlooking the Brandenburg Gate. Tonight, join us for dinner at the trendy rooftop restaurant atop the German Bundestag (the restored Parliament building). A prominent domed landmark, it is the meeting place of the Bundestag, Germany's main legislative body, and was first used in 1894, before a fire destroyed it in 1933. Reopened in 1999, it is a symbol of the reunification of East and West Germany; the views are spectacular!
A day well spent in Germany's capital city, Berlin

View the Deutscher Dom (German Cathedral) and the Französischer Dom (French Cathedral); Unter den Linden Boulevard; Brandenburg Gate; the Reichstag; and Checkpoint Charlie, the controversial crossing point between the former East and West Berlins during the Cold War era. The rest of the day is yours to explore this historic city as you wish.
Your choice of treasures in Berlin
Set off for Berlin's Museumsinsel (Museum Island), not far from your hotel. This UNESCO World Heritage Site houses five museums and priceless cultural treasures that will astonish even the most seasoned museum visitor! You have your choice of guided visits at several museums today; your pass includes an audio guide for the museums of your choice. Then join us for a Spree river cruise. Later, you'll have some time to explore more of Berlin as you like, perhaps sampling one of the locals' favorite foods, currywurst, a dish so tasty and emblematic of Berlin that there's a museum devoted to it. If you're curious to see a remaining section of the Berlin Wall, you might go to the East Side Gallery, a stretch of wall inventively painted by commissioned artists after reunification to commemorate that momentous occasion. Please join us this evening for a farewell reception and dinner at the hotel.
