Spanning over 16,000 acres, South Mountain Park and Preserve is the largest municipal park in the United States, offering a vast array of outdoor activities for all ages and skill levels. The park’s extensive trail system invites visitors to explore by hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding, with trails ranging from easy strolls to challenging climbs. For breathtaking panoramic views, visitors can drive up Summit Road to Dobbins Lookout, where sweeping vistas of the Phoenix Valley await, or continue to Gila Lookout for stunning views of the Gila River Valley. Keep in mind that the road is shared with cyclists and hikers, and includes steep sections and sharp, blind curves—so it’s important to adhere to the 25 mph speed limit for everyone's safety.

It’s Berlin’s most famous landmark and became the symbol of overcoming the division of Germany. From an architectural perspective, the sandstone structure, built by Carl Gotthard Langhans, is one of the most magnificent examples of German classicism. Nowadays the Gate serves as a backdrop for festivals, big sporting events or New Year’s Eve parties.

Berlin is a vast city with not one, but several centres that come in their distinct and varied flavours of cool. The fastest and most time efficient way to hit all the main attractions is to get on one of those hop-on hop-off buses. You can get a 24- or 48-hour ticket, as well as an option to upgrade to a river cruise boat. Buses run every 10–15 minutes. Of course, you get audio commentary in multiple languages, plus a kids' channel.
