Your Itinerary

Memorial of the Berlin Wall

Trace where the Berlin Wall once stood and learn how Berlin's place in the Iron Curtain defined the city for the second half of the 20th century. We’ll explore how Berlin has changed since the late 1940s, affecting the lives of those living both in the east and west.

Admission Not Included

Anhalter Bahnhof

Start the tour at Anhalter Bahnhof, a ruined train station once was known as the ‘gateway to the south’ and was one of the busiest train stations in the kingdom of Prussia. Learn about the birth of Germany and this station’s involvement in the Second World War.

Topography of Terror

Visit the Topography of Terror, an open and free exhibition all about the Nazis rise to power and their 12-year dictatorship. Both the Gestapo and the SS once had their headquarters right here. The Gestapo was the official Nazi secret police service, and the SS, or the Shutzstaffel, was the Nazi agency of terror which among other things was in charge of policing the concentration camps.

Reichstag Building

Finish the tour at the Reichstag, the German house of Parliament, originally built in 1893 which has seen Berlin throughout the 20th century. This has, in essence, been dedicated to the German public.
