Though hard to believe, November 9, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The tearing down of the wall is a well remembered event in history for most.
The city of Berlin is celebrating this remarkable anniversary with many events. If you’re more mature in age, you can recall hearing the words President Ronald Regan spoke on June 12, 1987, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”. The wall was torn down a little over two years later. For those on the younger side, you most likely learned about the Berlin Wall in history class. Regardless of age though, there is no better time than today to visit the amazing city of Berlin.
Now through November 20th, 2009, Rail Europe is giving travelers 20% off the German Rail Pass to celebrate 20 years of freedom and the spirit of traveling freely. Not only will you get 20% off your German Rail Pass, you’ll also receive a Berlin city sightseeing tour, absolutely FREE!
If you’ve ever spent some time strolling through the winding streets of Venice, or taken a gondola ride under the famed Bridge of Sighs, you simply must take a trip to experience Stockholm, the so-called Venice of the North.
