As all classical music and opera fans know, Berlin is one of the world's great capital cities. There are plenty of opportunities to visit Germany all year round, but spring is a particularly good time to enjoy the cultural life, which is as intense as ever, especially during the Festtage, the festival days when major events are expected!
This 2026 season, the Festtage are particularly flamboyant, with unique performances. The impressive conductor Christian Thielemann, the new Artistic Director, will be conducting Richard Strauss's absolute masterpiece The Knight of the Rose, as well as Brahms's powerful and moving Deutsches Requiem, with some marvellous voices, appropriate for each repertoire (the sublime Nikola Hillebrand, Julia Kleiter, Samuel Hasselhorn...). Music lovers will have their eyes on Anna Netrebko, Charles Castronovo and Ludovic Tézier, the prestigious line-up for Verdi's Ballo in maschera, and we can't blame them! A festival not to be missed!
To make your stay as enjoyable as possible, a guided tour of Berlin is included, with a choice of the following themes: Berlin Historic Centre, Berlin Wall, Architecture, Berlin Unusual and Berlin Street Art.

Guided Tours
In order to make your stay in Milan as pleasant as possible, we suggest different themes for visits in the city:
- Berlin Historic Center
- Berlin Wall
- Architecture
- Unusual Berlin
Berlin historic center
Discover the complex history of Berlin in the company of an English-speaking guide who will take you to the historic center of the German capital. You will cross the centuries by approaching the Prussian era, the Second World War, the communist past and reunification. You will understand how the modern city has been shaped by its history. From Hackescher Markt, former Jewish quarter. Museums, a cathedral and a castle and Places and times
Architecture
A city with a unique aesthetic, Berlin has an extremely heterogeneous architecture. The Potsdamer Platz district, completely razed during the war and divided by the Wall until 1989, was the most important reconstruction site after Reunification. Its ambitious constructions and its particular organization condense the main principles of urban planning at the end of the 20th century. In Berlin, architecture is also at the service of the duty of memory. From the outskirts of Tiergarten to the Reichstag, your guide will introduce you to these architectural places that bear witness to history.
Duration: 3 hours Walking tour
Unusual Berlin
Discover how the former no-man's land created by the Berlin Wall has evolved since 1989: alternative living spaces, beach bars, green urbanism, abandoned factory, street art...
During this walk in the company of a French-speaking guide, you will observe the heterogeneous architecture of the city, discover festive, cultural and artistic spaces on the banks of the Spree. We will tell you about Berlin today and tell you the little stories that illustrate the great historical events of the past decades.
