Spandau is in the west of Berlin and has lots of woods. The rivers Havel and Spree meet here. There you can have fun by sailing, rowing, swimming or just enjoying the beautiful view on a walk. Paths for bikes are mostly well built. After about 20 minutes by train you are in the centre of Berlin and can discover the history of this city. You may see old castles and find where the Berlin wall used to stand. Of course you may also visit today's political buildings like the Reichstag. On the other hand you will see how modern this city has become as you walk through the Sony Centre at Potsdamer Platz. The German culture is well represented by three opera houses, many theatres and musical theatres. Moreover, you can visit a lot of museums and two zoos. Thanks to the Berlin public traffic system, you can get almost anywhere by train, subway, or by bus.
