What do you think about a summer holiday in Canada? Toronto is considered to be one of the most multicultural cities in the world and, with its direct location on Lake Ontario, numerous sights and a wide range of cultural and culinary offerings, is well worth a visit. At the same time, the eastern Canadian metropolis is the perfect starting point from which to visit the nearby Niagara Falls or travel to the east of the country. With the summer schedule, Air Canada Rouge resumes its long-haul service from Berlin-Tegel to Toronto: from 5 June, the low-cost airline will be flying non-stop to Canada's largest city in around 8 hours and 45 minutes. The flight connection launched last year will be offered four times a week until October. A Boeing 767 will take off from Berlin-Tegel every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Come on in! The “Max Beckmann. World Theatre” exhibition is opening on 24 February at Museum Barberini on Alten Markt in Potsdam. Even Shakespeare once said: “All the world’s a stage!” Max Beckmann, one of the most famous representatives of classical modernism, often used subjects from theatre, circus and carnival, acrobatics and music hall in his works.
