We fly to Paris!

The french airline Aigle Azur is increasing its number of flights to Paris with the summer schedule: from 25 March there will be a daily flight from Berlin Tegel to the city of love. An Airbus A320 takes you on the approximately two-hour flight to Paris-Orly. Be enchanted by the city with the loveliest epithet and let your gaze wander from the 300-metre-high Eiffel Tower, stroll along the Champs Élysées or visit the many picturesque cafés of Montmartre. In addition to the many popular sights, you can also discover lesser known attractions that are definitely worth a trip, such as the catacombs of Paris, the artists' house at 59 Rivoli or the Arènes de Lutèce arena, the city's oldest construction. À bientôt à Paris!

Direct to Toronto from June

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.

Tegel – Villa Villekulla non-stop

Varmt välkommen in Småland! Starting 30 March, the Swedish airline Braathens Regional Airlines will connect Berlin with Sweden’s most popular holiday region. The airline will fly from Tegel to Växjö-Småland in Southern Sweden twice a week. Passengers will travel to the largest and greenest city in the province every Friday and Sunday. The route will be served by new ATR 72-600 planes. Växjö is the ideal starting point to explore Småland, or the “small lands” as it is known. The area is best known for Astrid Lindgren's children's books. Follow in the footsteps of Emil of Lönneberga or Pippi Longstocking! But Småland is not just for Lindgren fans; it also has a lot to offer outdoor enthusiasts: A unique coastline, around 5000 lakes and endless forests to go hiking, swimming and canoeing.

The world as a stage: The Max Beckmann exhibition in Potsdam

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. Time after time, he painted clowns, acrobats, dancers and actors. For the first time, an exhibition focuses on these aspects of his creative work and shows not only paintings, sculptures and prints but also theatre texts written by Beckmann. Immerse yourself in the world of theatre! The exhibition runs until 10 June 2018 at Museum Barberini.
