Trabant in Berlin

The East German Trabant or Trabi is not something you see everyday, at least not in my part of the world but I have spotted them every now and then in Germany. They were produced in East Germany from the 50s until the fall of the Berlin Wall and are easily recognisable as the design never really changed much in all the years of production.

Trabants are adorable cars and a bit of a collectors item nowadays even though they have been rated as one of the worst cars ever! There are more than 32,000 still on the road so hopefully I’ll spot a few more next time I’m in Germany.

The cars shown above are part of a tour you can take in Berlin where you drive around in your Trabant and see the sights of the city. What a great idea!
