Overview

  • First day in Berlin? Start here. In 3 hours and 30 minutes on foot you will tour the places where the 20th century was decided: Prussia, Nazism, and the 28 years of the Wall.

    We crossed the Brandenburg Gate, toured the Holocaust Memorial, stopped at Hitler's bunker site, followed an original stretch of the Wall to Checkpoint Charlie, and finished at Bebelplatz, where about 20,000 books were burned in 1933.

    What differentiates us:

    9.7/10 of over 39,000 travellers: year after year, among the best-rated tours in Berlin.
    40 guides who live in Berlin and don't recite a script: the tour adapts to your group and your questions.
    Reservations for €5 and, when finished, give your guide the tip you think is fair. Volunteer and without minimum.

    Look for the yellow umbrella in Pariser Platz.

Activity itinerary

Brandenburg Gate

  • 20m
We start at Pariser Platz, next to the Brandenburg Gate. Your guide tells you how this 1791 gate lost its quadriga to Napoleon, how it was locked in the death strip during the Cold War, and why in 1989 it became the symbol of German reunification.

The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

  • 20m
We tour the Holocaust memorial, 2,711 concrete blocks designed by Peter Eisenman without a single explanatory plaque. Your guide explains why it was conceived this way and what feeling it seeks to evoke when walking among the blocks.

Fuhrerbunker

  • 15m
We stop at the place where Hitler's bunker was, today under an unmarked car park. Your guide tells you about the last days of the Third Reich and Hitler's suicide on April 30, 1945.

Aviation Ministery of Berlin

  • 15m
We passed by the enormous building that Göring ordered built for the Luftwaffe, one of the few Nazi buildings that survived the bombings. Your guide explains how the RDA reused it and why the workers' revolt of June 17, 1953 began against it.

Topography of Terror

  • 20m
We walk along one of the original sections of the Berlin Wall that still stand, on the site where the Gestapo and SS headquarters were located. Your guide explains how the Nazi repressive apparatus worked and what the border strip was like.

Checkpoint Charlie

  • 20m
We arrived at the most famous border crossing of the Cold War. Your guide tells you how in October 1961 Soviet and American tanks were face-to-face for sixteen hours, and the leaks and spies that made this place famous.

Gendarmenmarkt

  • 20m
We visited what many consider the most beautiful square in Berlin, with its twin churches, the German and the French, and the Concert Hall in the centre. Your guide explains how the French Huguenots who fled to Prussia changed the city.

Bebelplatz

  • 20m
We ended in the Opera State Square, where on May 10, 1933, Nazi students burned about 20,000 books. Your guide shows you the memorial of the empty library under the ground and recommends what to do for the rest of your trip.
