Travel through Germany for an overnight in Berlin. Upon arrival, why not enjoy some free time in the centre of the city? The capital offers a wide variety of Christmas markets all over the city, including Gendarmenmarkt, one of Berlin's most beautiful squares.

Traders and artisans sell their goods on the Old Berlin market lane with the façades showing the original illustrations of Berlin houses from around 1900.

Join our optional excursion to the town of Wieliczka and the oldest salt mine in Europe. The mines are an impressive underground world of salt lakes and galleries. They are a masterpiece of generations of miners who have created a subterraneous world of chambers and lakes, where galleries, halls, chapels and numerous sculptures have been carved in the salt rock.
The journey starts at the Danilowicz Shaft where we meet our guide, and then descend via some 380 steps to 64 metres below ground. Our guide takes us on a fascinating journey through the magnificent chambers, revealing the history and the secrets of the mine. At the end of our visit, we return to the surface by the miners lift.
This evening, we will travel to a local restaurant to enjoy an evening meal with festive-inspired Polish folklore entertainment.with an extra experience
