Description:

Experience the Berlin of both the past and the present on this walking tour. Visit landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag building, see World War II and Cold War-related sites, and get a taste of Berlin's modern day atmosphere as you walk down the city's grand boulevards.

The tour begins on the westside of the grand Reichstag building. Originally opened in 1894 and home to the German parliament, the building's huge glass dome allows for a stunning 360-degree view of the Berlin skyline.

Your guide leads you around this bustling city's famous landmarks like Pariser Platz and the Brandenburg Gate—the neoclassical arch that to many is the most indelible symbol of Berlin.

Visit some of Berlin's World War II related sites. Observe a solemn moment of remembrance at the 2,711 concrete slabs that make up the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. A visit to the site of the bunker where Adolf Hitler spent the last days of the war follows.

Stories about the division of Berlin during the Cold War are told as you are taken to the site of the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie, the best known crossing point between East and West Berlin.

Berlin's beauty is on display when passing Gendarmenmarkt, a square lined with stately French and German cathedrals, while on your way to one of Berlin's oldest chocolate makers. Enjoy a piece of authentic German chocolate as the tour concludes next to the imposing Berlin Cathedral.
