EasyCityPass Berlin tips November

This year marks the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. We are thematically aligning our November newsletter with this. Our partners of the month let you experience the topic of the Wall in a variety of ways.

The "DDR Museum ” is all about the GDR era. An interactive museum for visitors of all ages. The "The Wall Museum ” allows many guests to understand for the first time how the fall of the Wall came about and provides unknown aspects and lots of interesting background information. With “TimeRide Berlin” you can use VR to explore the city through a VR sightseeing tour.

We would particularly like to highlight our personal Wall stories. We asked people from our EasyCityPass community to tell us about their own experiences of the Wall. The result is this wonderful series which we present to you in our blog.

Berlin Fairy Tale Days

November 07 to 24, 2024

The Berlin Fairy Tale Days will take place for the 35th time in 2024 under the motto “The World Tree: The Cosmic Order - From Fairy Tales to Fantasy”. “The Fairy Tale Days focus on a mystical concept: the world tree. Trees are often used as metaphors. In religion and mythology, the world tree connects different worlds with each other and serves both as a portal and as a connecting element. The tree of life, on the other hand, symbolizes creation and metaphysics. The heart tree connects people and divinities.”
