    As dusk settles, Berlin transforms. From your top-deck vantage point, the city’s storied architecture becomes a canvas for a radiant spectacle. The neoclassical dome of the Berlin Cathedral glows with animated projections, while the Funkturm’s steel lattice is traced in brilliant light. You glide towards the iconic Brandenburg Gate, now bathed in a symbolic tapestry of color, its historical gravitas narrated by a live guide in English and German. This 21-year-old tour is a journey through a living gallery where beams of light weave new stories onto the very fabric of the city's soul.
