Day trips by hire car

Having a hire car in Berlin will not only make it easier to travel about the city exploring the numerous sites, but it will also make it possible to visit some sites outside the city center as well as visit some interesting smaller towns near Berlin. To arrange for a hire car for Berlin, click here.

A couple of the destinations to visit by hire car include: Stasi HQ, Kreuzberg, Weimar, and Leipzig. Stasi HQ is the old headquarters of the German Democratic Republic's secret police force and has become an interesting tourist attraction. It’s located in the suburbs of East Berlin.

Kreuzberg is a rather strange suburb, southwest of the center. In the old days it was full of punks and neo-nazis, but now it’s become a trendy spot, full of coffeshops, book stalls, music shops, markets and kebab shops.

Weimar and Leipzig are smaller towns that are worth a day trip by hire car to check out. Not as modern as Berlin and much more relaxed, these towns offer another taste of German culture.
