Prague<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"View<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Day 1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make a beeline for Wencelas Square, Prague\u2019s main shopping district. This thriving central hub is home to designer stores, streetside cafes and the best tea rooms in the city. At the top of the square, pause to enjoy the National Museum, one of Prague\u2019s grandest buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the museum, it\u2019s a 1km-walk north to Powder Gate, an imposing gothic tower used as a gunpowder store in the 17th<\/sup> century. If you\u2019re feeling energetic, you can climb the stairs to the viewing gallery, 44 metres above ground level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk towards the river for 500m to arrive at Old Town Square. Here, you\u2019ll find the most famous Christmas market in Prague<\/a>, full of hot chocolate stands and gingerbread stalls. Don\u2019t forget to try Trdelnik, a cinnamon pastry filled with ice-cream and chocolate \u2013 surely the best way to refuel in Prague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Begin the day exploring the streets of Prague Jewish Quarter, location of the Old-New Synagogue \u2013 the oldest active place of Jewish worship in the world. You\u2019ll also find The Spanish Synagogue here, often described as the most beautiful in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, make your way over Chekov Bridge to Letna Gardens. This elevated park contains Prague\u2019s most famous beer garden, where you\u2019ll find breathtaking views over the city\u2019s bridges, churches and narrow streets. It\u2019s time to order a Czech lager and take it all in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the park, it\u2019s a short Metro hop to Prague Castle. Built in the 9th<\/sup> century, this spawling complex can\u2019t be missed on any Prague city break, with highlights including St. Vitus Cathedral and Golden Lane. When you\u2019ve finished, end the day with a stroll over Charles Bridge, an astonishing structure, and symbol of Prague\u2019s medieval past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider tip: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many places to ice-skate outdoors in Prague during winter, but for a unique experience head to the roof of Galerie Harfa Shopping Centre \u2013 skating sessions are free \u2013 just hire a pair of boots and off you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berlin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Berlin<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Day 1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The iconic Brandenburg Gate is the perfect place to start your Berlin adventure<\/a>. This 30m-tall structure once stood between East and West Germany \u2013 it\u2019s now a symbol of unity, and one of Berlin\u2019s most famous landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 5 minute walk will take you to the Reichstag Building, home to Germany\u2019s parliament. In the centre of the building, you\u2019ll find a giant glass dome giving incredible panoramic views of the city. There\u2019s a rooftop restaurant here, too \u2013 grab the chance to fill up on currywurst and beer as you look out over the skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head back in the direction of Brandenburg Gate for Gro\u00dfer Tiergarten, Berlin\u2019s 500-acre central park. At Christmas, the main avenue of the park is beautifully lit up, and you can stop for Gl\u00fchwein, wurst, and cinnamon biscuits along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A visit to Belin wouldn\u2019t be complete without seeing the Berlin Wall. At East Side Gallery, you get to witness the longest section of the wall standing today, adorned with hundreds of unique murals. At 1.3km long, it\u2019s considered the world\u2019s largest open-air art gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From here, jump on the S Bahn (intercity train) to reach Museum Island. This UNESCO-listed complex houses 5 museums, the oldest dating back to 1830. If you only have time to visit one, we recommend the Neues Museum, with its impressive collection of Egyptian artefacts. Highlights include the Papyrus Collection and the Bust of Nefertiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, take the U-Bahn (underground) to Television Tower in Alexanderplatz, the tallest structure in the city. At a height of 200m, you\u2019ll get excellent views of the city, and the tower revolves so you won\u2019t miss any of the sights. Back down to earth, wander through Berlin\u2019s best Christmas market for mulled wine, bratwurst and a game of curling on the ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider tip: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you call it a day, pay a visit to Harpan Concert Hall, an amazing feat of architecture overlooking Reykjavik Harbour.
