Stock up on Haribo and join us on this fully-charged road trip.
Berlin: A City Steeped in History and Culture
Berlin, one of the most densely populated cities in the European Union, is a hub of both ancient and modern history. Its division and subsequent reunification have fostered an atmosphere of inclusivity, creativity, and a renowned nightlife scene. Our journey begins on the outskirts, high up in the Drachenberg region, offering spectacular views across the sprawling urban landscape.
A Spirited Drive
The Drachenberg, or "Kite Mountain," offers a picturesque and twisty driving route, perfect for enjoying the Polestar 2 and its impressive 400-mile (655 km) range. Daredevil paragliders launch from here, while drivers can enjoy the serene beauty of the Grunewald forest.
Caffeine and Croissants
With the sun breaking through Berlin’s skies, it’s time to top up with some curated caffeine. Bonanza Coffee Roasters, southeast of the Brandenburg Gate, serves exquisite flat whites and fresh pastries, providing the perfect breakfast to fuel our exploration.
The Brandenburg Gate
Next, we visit the Brandenburg Gate, a symbol of peace, unity, and acceptance, currently acting as the Fussball Fanmeile for this year's football festival. This expansive area hosts live games and impromptu parties, uniting sports fans from around the world.
The Siegessäule Victory Column
After a detour through Friedrichstraße, Berlin’s famous shopping district, we arrive at the Siegessäule Victory Column. Originally commemorating Germany’s military victories, it now stands for peace and oversees Berlin’s techno-infused Love Parade.
Cultural Highlights
Crossing the Spree via Lutherbrücke, we stop at the Bode-Museum on Museum Island, home to art from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. Continuing east, we cross the iconic Oberbaumbrücke, a symbol of Berlin’s tumultuous past and present resilience.
The Nightlife Scene
Berlin's nightlife is epitomized by Berghain, one of the world’s most exclusive nightclubs. Set in a former power station, it’s famous for techno music and its mysterious door policy. Though tempting, our journey continues west towards the Olympiastadion.
The Grand Finale
The Olympiastadion, built for the 1936 Olympics, now hosts the final of this year's football competition. This grand sporting amphitheatre is a fitting end to our incredible journey through Berlin.
