SET Sports Tours :: Destination Berlin

Berlin

With a richly varied history, Berlin is packed full of culture in the shape of museums and monuments and is perfect for school or junior groups wanting to combine a little culture to their sports tour.

What better place to immerse yourself in history than Berlin, the centre of the 20th century’s biggest conflict and home to its most infamous dictator? Add to this an excellent sporting infrastructure and it becomes clear school and junior club sides stand to benefit on more than one level from a sports tour to the German capital.

Junior football and rugby teams will be particularly well catered for in Berlin and school hockey sides should also consider SET’s Berlin Hockey Festival, held each Easter.

Tours can be tailor-made to incorporate as many or as few ‘sights’ as requested and fixtures across a broad range of abilities can be organised.

Berlin’s safe and sanitary streets lend themselves to exploration and an excellent underground rail system means inner-city transport is easily taken care of.

Both the Soviet and Western influence on Berlin can still be felt and the city has to be visited to be properly appreciated.
