12 – 16 March 2026

Berlin — a city of history, reinvention and pure sporting passion. From the grandeur of the Olympiastadion to the grit of an old-school East German derby, this is a trip that captures every side of the German capital. Add a VIP night of ice hockey and a deep dive into Berlin’s fascinating story and vibrant beer culture, and you’ve got a weekend that delivers the very best of sport and city life.

What’s included (Itinerary subject to change depending on final fixture schedules)

• Arrival in Berlin on 12 March, where your EuropeAway hosts will welcome you and help you settle into your centrally located hotel. Take the evening to get your bearings — a first stein in a local beer hall, perhaps, or a wander through the buzzing neighbourhoods that make Berlin so unique.

• 13 March: The weekend kicks off in grand style at the iconic Olympiastadion as Hertha Berlin take on VfL Bochum. A stadium steeped in history and atmosphere, it’s a must-visit for any football fan — a mix of modern Bundesliga energy and echoes of sporting history.

• 14 March: It’s hockey night — and in style. Enjoy a VIP experience at Eisbären Berlin v Adler Mannheim, a North-vs-South clash in Germany’s DEL. Expect elite hockey, passionate fans and premium hospitality with great views, food and drink included.

• 15 March: Step back into the football of the East as BFC Dynamo host Chemie Leipzig, an old-school East German derby rich with intensity, nostalgia and raw local energy. It’s a fixture that tells its own story of football in a divided Germany — a real insight into the city’s past and present.

• Earlier in the day, enjoy a guided tour of Berlin, exploring its key landmarks — from the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag to the remnants of the Wall — before winding down with a visit to one of the city’s best breweries. Expect fascinating stories, local flavours and the chance to taste Berlin’s craft and traditional brews side by side.

• 16 March: A relaxed final morning before departure, perfect for exploring a museum, grabbing a last coffee in Kreuzberg or just soaking in the capital’s rhythm.
