A motorcade pulls away from Hamburg’s docks at dawn, the port shrinking behind you as the German plain opens into long straights and wind‑ruffled fields. By midmorning Berlin’s silhouette—low roofs, the Spree threading through—appears, and the day becomes a paced urban walk through sites that shaped 20th‑century Europe.
