Destacados

This tour focuses on the Berlin of the Nazi-era. By singling out a range of buildings the mechanisms and the brutality of the Nazi-regime will get highlighted, as will the fact that besides millions of people losing their lives, at the end of the Nazi-terror lay a city and a country in shame and in rubble, to be subsequently divided, with a wall separating the east from the west. This tour takes visitors back to places where things actually happened by also underlining the fact that the Germany of today is a place different from what it was then, yet still haunted by the phantoms of the past.

About Berlín

Berlín, creativa y abierta capital de Alemania, donde hitos de una historia turbulenta conviven con arte, parques y legendaria vida nocturna.

La Puerta de Brandeburgo es el símbolo de la ciudad, cerca del Reichstag con cúpula de cristal y del Memorial a los Judíos Asesinados de Europa. Se conservan fragmentos del Muro de Berlín, sobre todo en la East Side Gallery, un largo tramo cubierto de murales, y en el memorial de Bernauer Strasse, mientras que el Checkpoint Charlie marca el antiguo paso fronterizo más famoso.
