First stop on this Day Trip in Berlin is Brewery Lemke am Hackeschen Hof. This charming brewery located in bustling Hackescher Markt quarter is a paradise for beer lovers. They combine traditional German brewing methods with modern artistry.

But no tasting would be complete without some substantial meals! Foodies don’t fret – Brewery Lemke has you covered there too. Indulge yourself with mouth-watering dishes like Schnitzel or Bratwurst with Sauerkraut. You won’t regret it!
When hunger is satisfied and new favourite drink discovered hop on board a boat for a leisurely trip down the Spree River.

While drifting across Spree River take pictures that are bound to become popular on Instagram: reflections of urban lights falling onto swirling waves at night… It’s also an opportunity for relaxed reflection after an intense day.
So if you’re keen for lots more beer drinking, munching traditional German grub & cruising along scenic rivers then sign up with Time Change today!!!
Trabi tour in Berlin
Trabi tour in Berlin
A fairly unusual way to get to know the metropolis Berlin is to explore the city in a Trabi - the cult symbol of the former GDR.
The Trabi car, short for Trabant, has since 1989 no longer been produced. Over 3 million of them were produced in a total of 30 years, and Berlin has a few still in its possession.
In each Trabi, 3 people can travel through the streets of Berlin,as if in former times! After some explanations about the cars and the traffic, guests will drive the Trabis alone. In the first car of each convoy, the guide’s explanations are provided via a special transmitter found in every car.
We could arrange a sightseeing Trabi tour, a city rally with different challenges or even travel in GDR style to your dinner location from the hotel.
The choice is yours!

Activities Berlin
Welcome to Berlin, where history, culture and modernity fuse into one vibrant city – a playground for your clients. Our role at Time Change DMC Berlin is to offer tailor-made trips that showcase the many diverse and exciting things this lively capital has to offer.
Go on guided tours of some of Berlin’s most famous landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate and what remains of the Berlin Wall, both of which will teach you about the history surrounding these places.
If art is more your thing then let us take you around museums like Pergamon Museum or East Side Gallery (among others). We can get you private viewings or special exhibitions so that you can really appreciate all that this city has contributed artistically over time.
For those looking for an immersive experience in local life itself we arrange just such opportunities throughout different neighbourhoods across town – think trendy cafes in Kreuzberg versus historical charm found only within Charlottenburg etc., each district giving its own unique insight into what makes up ‘Berlin’.
We haven’t left out adventure seekers either; there are plenty of options available ranging from kayaking along urban stretches within Spree River right up until taking part in bike rides along trails situated directly upon Berlin Wall itself. These activities provide an alternative view point from which to see this place plus they cater well towards those who prefer their explorations served with a side order of physical exertion!
And when it comes to food? Well let’s just say no one should leave without having experienced at least one culinary tour around here... We’re talking traditional beer gardens, modern fusion restaurants or even just street food markets – whatever takes your fancy really but be prepared for taste bud overload because there truly is something for everyone when dining out in Berlin.
Of course we also understand that people want to know what happens after dark! That being said if anyone would like VIP entry into some seriously cool clubs or bars then please don’t hesitate asking us because we can certainly sort something out for you. Berlin is after all notorious worldwide when it comes to nightlife.
Time Change DMC Berlin appreciates the importance of having a well-rounded trip. As such our team strive to create packages that cater for all your clients’ interests – leaving them with memories which will stand out long after they have returned home from their visit to this city.

Tunisia has more capacity to Europe than any other African country, after Morocco and Egypt, . It will offer a record 3.54 million departing seats between April and October, according to Cirium data, a 14.6% rise over 2019. In the past two decades, this is only the fourth time that Tunisian capacity has exceeded three million seats — showing strong recovery from the global pandemic among other things.
