One hour west of Berlin, in the old eastern state of Brandenburg, lies Brandenburg an der Havel. With lakes, greenery and a walkable town centre, this historic small town has lots to offer outdoorsy visitors. The town's theatre, the Brandenburger Theater, offers shows ranging from musical performances to readings to straight theatre. Most of the town's sights can be reached by foot but a tram line runs down the small alleys and back streets, sometimes with terrifying proximity to shopfronts and doorways. Also worth a stop is the wine shop, Belmondo, in which you can buy a bottle to take home or (and?) stop to enjoy a glass of something local, all the while enjoying the sights of the old market square.
