Tour description
Walk through the turbulent history of the 20th century on this free walking tour in central Berlin. Alongside a local guide, you will pass by the iconic Brandenburg Gate, stand before the Reichstag Building, and pause in reflection at the vast Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Trace the remnants of the Berlin Wall, visit Checkpoint Charlie and the unmarked site of Hitler's former bunker, while listening to the story of how a divided city was reunited. From Prussian kings to the Cold War and the fall of the Wall, this is history you can directly walk through—along with insider tips on currywurst, beer gardens, and Berlin's famous nightlife. Free to join—at the end of the tour, simply tip your guide whatever you feel the experience was worth.
