Your Itinerary

Memorial of the Berlin Wall

Our journey leads us to the poignant Berlin Wall, a chilling relic of the Cold War era. Erected by the German Democratic Republic, it stood as an imposing barrier, preventing East Berliners from reaching the freedom of the West, under the watchful eyes of the major Western Allies. This wall, both physical and ideological, cleaved Berlin into two starkly contrasting worlds. It's not just history; it's a testament to the human spirit's relentless quest for freedom. Join us for a tour that will take you through this somber yet inspiring chapter of Berlin's history. Ready to walk in the shadow of the Iron Curtain and witness the triumph of unity over division?

Checkpoint Charlie

Just a stone's throw from the Wall lies Checkpoint Charlie, the most iconic border crossing between East and West Berlin during the Cold War. It's more than just a checkpoint; it's a living testament to history's pivotal moments. Picture this: in the heart of the Berlin Crisis in 1961, American and Soviet tanks locked eyes here, an unforgettable standoff etched into the annals of history. Join us on a journey to this legendary site where East met West and tensions ran high. It's not just a checkpoint; it's a chapter of history that still resonates today. Ready to step into the Cold War's epicenter?

The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

Our journey takes us to a place of reflection, a solemn tribute, and a powerful reminder. Nestled near the heart of Berlin, close to the iconic Brandenburg Gate, stands the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Here, we honor the memory of those whose lives were tragically taken. It's a place of quiet contemplation and a stark warning against forgetting history's darkest hours. Join us for a tour that pays homage to resilience and promises "Never Again." This is more than a visit; it's a promise to remember and learn from the past. Ready to stand in solidarity with history?

Brandenburg Gate

From Potsdamer Platz, we step into history's embrace at the iconic Brandenburg Gate. Crafted from 1788 to 1791, it's a testament to the vision of Carl Gotthard Langhans, at the behest of Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II. Modeled after the grand gateways of the Athenian Acropolis, it stands tall with its majestic Doric columns. This is more than a gate; it's a portal to a bygone era and a symbol of unity and freedom. Join us on a journey that unravels the secrets of Berlin's timeless icon. Ready to walk in the footsteps of kings and emperors?

Abgeordnetenhaus Berlin

The Abgeordnetenhaus was established by the new constitution of West Berlin in 1951. It replaced the former city legislature called Stadtverordnetenversammlung (city deputies assembly), established by the Prussian Reforms in 1808 and re-established by Allied-initiated state elections of 1946. The parliament of Berlin is chosen every five years in a general, free, secret and direct ballot according to the principle of proportional representation. It consists of at least 130 representatives, 78 chosen directly in the electoral districts of the Berlin boroughs, and 52 indirectly from land or district lists. If a party wins more constituency seats than its overall share of the vote, the overall size of the Abgeordnetenhaus increases because of these overhang mandates.

Schloss Cecilienhof

The Potsdam Conference was one the most important historical events of the 20th century. It is seen around the world as a symbol of the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, which led to the division of Europe and the erection of the Berlin Wall. The Potsdam Agreement adopted at Cecilienhof laid the groundwork for a new order in Germany, Europe, and the world after World War II. From July 17 to August 2, 1945, the summit meeting of World War II’s victorious powers took place here, attended by the “Big Three” – the American president Harry S. Truman, the British prime minister Winston Churchill (followed by his successor Clement Attlee), and the Soviet head of state Joseph Stalin. Cecilienhof Country House, built from 1913–17 according to plans by Paul Schultze in the style of a country manor, was the last palace erected by the Hohenzollerns.

Sanssouci Palace

The pleasure Palace of Frederick the Great features beautiful Rococo-style architecture and a magnificent palace garden. On April 14, 1745, the foundation stone was laid for today's world famous Sanssouci Palace. Sanssouci is an masterpiece ensemble of architecture, sculptures and garden art.

Admission Not Included

Neues Palais

A colossal palace building, its high tambour dome recognizable from afar, rises up at the western end of the Hauptallee (the main promenade) in Sanssouci Park: the Neues Palais (New Palace). In strong contrast to the intimate and rather modest Sanssouci Palace the large palace complex served official, representational needs. Grand banquet halls, splendid galleries and regally designed suites, not to mention Sanssouci’s Baroque palace theater in the southern wing, await visitors in its interior. Select works of 18th century art and decorative arts can be viewed at the palace in their original contexts. The New Palace is the last royal residence Frederick the Great would have built in his park. It was a demonstration of the Prussian state’s undiminished power and wealth following the deprivations of the Seven Years’ War (1756–63).
