Tropical Islands Resort, Germany

Tropical Islands Resort, Germany

An hour south of Berlin, inside a former airship hangar large enough to contain the Eiffel Tower lying down, sits a permanently 26-degree indoor tropics: a rainforest with real flamingos, a lagoon, Germany's tallest waterslide tower and a beach with an artificial sunset. The surreal masterstroke is staying overnight — you can sleep in tents on the indoor beach — which turns a wet-weather backup into the strangest, best night of the trip.
