Your chance to see Berlin at night from the air

I've flown over Berlin at night many times as part of our research campaigns to understand the light emission of the city. It's a very cool experience, and for a short time, it's open to everyone.

During the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Air Berlin is operating a special flight over the city. In addition to the many historic and modern landmarks visible from the air, thousands of lit balloons will mark the former path of the wall through the city.

I suspect that the balloon display will be more moving from the ground than from the air. But I think this is a great opportunity, and I can highly recommend the experience to anyone who loves Berlin!
