About this activity
Travel into Berlin's past, from the Brandenburg Gate to Checkpoint Charlie…

On this enlightening, 3-hours walking tour your guide's superb story-telling skills will weave the themes of Prussian History, Imperial Germany, the Nazi Period, Cold War and 21st-century Berlin into a detailed narrative, using thelatest historical research.

This fascinating walking tour begins with an account of how Berlin was prior to WWII. After walking through the Brandenburg Gate and seeing the Reichstag (Parliament) with its famous new dome, you’ll take a walk past the new Holocaust Memorial and visit the site of Hitler's former bunker.

Listen as your guide explains what happened here at the end of the war, and why there is nothing left to see.

You'll then see how 21st-century Berlin is taking shape on Potsdamer Platz and find out where the Nazi SS and Gestapo HQ stood. You’ll see the Berlin Wall and follow the “Death Strip” to Checkpoint Charlie. While you walk, your guide will explain how the Wall was built, as well as the momentous events of its fall in 1989.

Your tour ends then at Checkpoint Charlie, close to the Wall Museum and other

worth seeing sites.
