Berlin
If your client is looking for a short break in a diverse, modern city that’s full of culture, then Berlin should tick all the boxes. The German capital is one of the most creative cities in Europe, with its countless museums making it the perfect place for tourists who love indulging in cultural activities.
Pack it all in If your customer is keen to fit as much as they can into their trip, recommend a two-day sightseeing pass, which gives free entry to 50 attractions (£72 for adults and £34 for children through Attraction World). The Checkpoint Charlie Museum is a popular choice, with displays reflecting the unusual escape methods used to get from East to West when the Berlin Wall divided the city. First-timers should take a trip to see the Brandenburg
Gate and one of Germany’s tallest landmarks – the Berliner Fernsehturm tower, offering a 360-degree view of the city from 368 metres. For those in a rush on a short visit to the city recommend Attraction World’s admission and queue jump tickets (£13 adults/£9 children).
Suggest excursions A trip to Berlin isn’t complete with a visit to see part of the Berlin Wall. A large stretch of intact Wall can be found in the east of the centre along the River Spree. Mystery Shopper was keen to get prices for recommended excursions and all agents did offer suggestions. Pre-booking excursions is
a great way to show your customers you’re keen to go the extra mile – and it’s also a chance for you to earn extra commission.
