A CITY A WEEK AND WHY...BERLIN

 A CITY A WEEK AND WHY...

BERLIN

There are many ways to answer the question of 'WHY BERLIN'.  

Indeed, Berlin may 

be one of the world's most 

layered cities--

its many incarnations scraped away 

and 

continually 

added to over a 700 year history.  

The current mix is very rich--contemporary art, 

modern 

architecture, 

evidences of 

the 

Cold War and 

of 

the 

dark, dark

legacies of 

World War I and II…

a

nd then there is Museum Island.  

This UNESCO World Heritage 

Site 

is quite

 literally an island of museums surrounded by 

the River Spree

.  

Together these five museums present 

a gorgeous, almost 

dizzying paean to classical notions of 

beauty.  

The collections include the Pergamon Altar and the Ishtar Gate at the 

Pergamon 

and and Nefertiti at the Neues Museum.

We'll be traveling to Berlin this fall, September 14th to 20th.  The itinerary is not quite set  but we can tell you this--it will include Museum Island and much, much more. Please stay tuned and watch for 'Featured Trip' announcements.  

We think this is going

to be a lot of fun.

A CITY A WEEK AND WHY...

Studio Traveler says 'yes' to social media with the launch of a new series.  One city, one observation, one photograph, one weekly post.  Simple as that.  We will begin with a focus on the cities we'll visit in 2014--Berlin; Los Angeles; New York; Philadelphia: Portland, Maine; Quebec; Santa Fe; Seattle and Washington, D.C.  But let's face it--we just love cities so there may some surprises along the way!  

We hope you'll come along…we think it's going to be a lot of fun.
