Completely destroyed during the Second World War and divided by a wall for almost 30 years, the German capital has a long history to tell those who visit it. Beyond the devastating events that marked its pages, this city is vibrant, modern and fun and offers endless plans to spend your time, ranging from classic visits to its most notable monuments, such as the Brandenburg Gate, the cathedral or the Reichstag (parliament)to fun and exciting activities.

But, without a doubt, its main attraction is on the roof terrace where, in addition to having a bar area, it includes, since last June, the attraction High Swing or what is the same, the highest swing in Europe. Located at nothing more and nothing less than 120 meters high Over the rooftops of Berlin – it is only surpassed in height by the Television Tower – this swing allows adrenaline lovers to see one of the most beautiful postcards of the heart of this destination.
The brave ones who dare to see themselves suspended at this point will first receive a brief introduction and a safety class. Then it’s time to sit back, buckle up and enjoy the views for 5 minutes, time that may seem like little, but in these conditions it can be an eternity. In addition, you can go with a companion to immortalize the moment, since you cannot go on the attraction with a phone or camera if they are not properly secured against falls. To get the best snapshot for social networks you just have to ask the workers because they are the ones who know the best angles.
This swing is located 120 meters high
