Have you ever wondered how it would feel to experience the best moments of a year in a
single week? With the motto "There to traditions and back to modern times again" AEGEE-
Krakow and AEGEE-Berlin want to give you the opportunity to discover two amazing
cultures and experience old traditions at modern times. You will take cuisine classes and
dancing workshops, you will learn how to celebrate Oktoberfest and German carnival and
have fun on a typical Polish wedding. All this will take place in the two breath-taking cities
Berlin and Krakow, two of the most interesting spots to be in central Europe.
Places visited
Krakow
Kraków will make you mesmerized with his one of the biggest in the world market square,
charming, small streets - where you wish to get lost, pubs filled with students and unique
polish food. The day and night mix together to connect and make the best out of your time.
During the day, Wawel castle, more than 50 museums, Jewish district, beautiful parks and
at night main square with charming lights and the vibe… vibe that will make you remember
that Krakow is proud of having the biggest quantity of pubs and clubs for a square
kilometer.
Berlin
Berlin is the capital of Germany as well as the country's largest city and a cultural melting
pot. Being one of the largest cities of Europe at the heart of the continent, Berlin has
experienced political turmoil and upheaval throughout the last century mainly due to World
War II and the subsequent division of the city by the Berlin Wall. After the reunification in
1990 the city has seen a major influx in cultural life e.g. sporting events, festivals and
exhibitions which makes it a unique place holding possibilities for everyone.
Wroclaw
Wroclaw is the principal city of Lower Silesia, a voivodship situated in the south-western
corner of Poland, adjoining the German and Czech territories. Its population of 632,000
makes it the fourth largest city in Poland. Having absorbed Bohemian, Austrian and
Prussian influences, the city has a unique architectural and cultural make-up, symbolised
by its magnificent market square. Wrocław’s location on the Odra River, with its 12 islands,
130 bridges and riverside parks, is idyllic, and the beautifully preserved ecclesiastical
district is a treat for lovers of Gothic architecture. Wrocław's fascinating history reflects the
past of the entire Central Europe and will be the European Capital of Culture 2016.
Potsdam
Potsdam – City of palaces & parks
Potsdam is best known as the former royal seat of Prussia with a number of magnificent
parks and palaces. Prussia's splendour and glory, the legacy of Frederick I and Frederick II
(better known as Frederick the Great), a proud tradition as a seat of art and science –
Potsdam offers a spectacular wealth of culture and history.
The past 300 years have seen the transformation of Potsdam from a garrison town to one
