What To Expect

Discover Berlin's tumultuous modern history on a guided walking tour of its most significant Third Reich and Cold War sites. Visit iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, and Soviet War Memorial. Reflect at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a poignant tribute to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust/Shoah.

See the site of Hitler’s Bunker and the massive Ministry of Aviation, where the GDR was founded in 1949. Explore the former Gestapo and SS headquarters, now home to the Topography of Terror exhibition.

Learn about the Berlin Wall, constructed in 1961, and hear stories of the deadly "death strip." View a preserved 200-meter section of the Wall and the spots where daring escapes occurred, as well as tales of those who tragically did not succeed.

Conclude at Checkpoint Charlie and hear about the fall of the Wall in 1989 and the journey to German unity.
