Family holidays in Berlin

Family trips with short distances and plenty of safety.

Berlin in Deutschland is a destination that Family plans for families, focusing on children, safety and short distances. Behind it stands Swiss Vibes, a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, which puts together family trips with short distances. The planner asks about family and period, and on the video call Swiss Vibes clarifies the details.

Why this trip

Children in Berlin do not need a guidebook, they need space: meadows in the Tiergarten, playgrounds in every neighbourhood and the tram, which feels like a small adventure. From May to September the days are long enough to set off properly once more after the nap. The Tiergarten is the green heart of the city, with ponds, paths for bikes and scooters and one playground after another. At the Brandenburg Gate and the East Side Gallery you can tell school-age children what the Wall meant, without a lecture, simply while strolling along.

Berlin Cathedral offers a dome to climb, which appeals to children with stamina. The Upside Down Berlin is a house where everything stands on its head, and suits as a destination for a rainy day. Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and Stuttgart are neighbours, but the distances between them are long, and with children Berlin alone is worthwhile. The public transport network with U-Bahn, S-Bahn and tram takes families everywhere.

Tap water is of good quality, and drinking bottles are enough. The journey is usually by train or flight, and with children you need to allow reserves for train delays.
