What to expect

1
Brandenburg Gate

Start your journey at Berlin’s most famous landmark, once a backdrop for Nazi victory parades. In 1933, Hitler’s troops marched through this gate, symbolizing their rise to power. Today, it stands as a powerful reminder of the city’s turbulent history and resilience.

Duration 20 minutes
2
Reichstag Building

Just a short walk away, this imposing parliamentary building played a crucial role in Hitler’s rise. The infamous Reichstag Fire of 1933 gave the Nazis an excuse to seize full control. Now fully restored, it represents Germany’s democratic rebirth.

Duration 20 minutes
3

The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

This powerful memorial, composed of 2,711 concrete slabs of varying heights, stands as a stark tribute to the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. As you navigate its narrow, uneven pathways, the towering slabs create a sense of isolation and unease — an intentional design meant to evoke the uncertainty and despair experienced during this dark chapter of history.

Duration 20 minutes
4
Fuhrerbunker

Explore the area where the Nazi regime once held power, including the site of Hitler’s underground bunker, now a simple parking lot. Though little remains, your guide will bring history to life, recounting the final days of the Third Reich and how this district once shaped the course of WWII.

Duration 20 minutes
5
Scheunenviertel

A neighborhood rich in history but scarred by persecution. Stroll through streets once home to Berlin’s Jewish community, visit the Old Synagogue, and see the Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) marking the homes of deported families.

Duration 20 minutes
6

Berlin

<nil>

The tour ends at this powerful tribute to resistance. In 1943, non-Jewish women stood here, demanding the release of their Jewish husbands from Nazi custody. Against all odds, their protest succeeded, proving that courage could defy tyranny.

Duration 20 minutes
