Inclusions

Itinerary

1. The perfect place to begin your tour, the Brandenburg Gate is the most famous and most recognizable monument in Berlin. It is a splendid 18th c. Neo-Classical monument that has featured prominently in the political history of Prussia, France, the Soviet Union, and both divided and unified Germany.

   5 min

2. Historically, the grandest square in Berlin and the sight of many important historical events. It's home to the U.S. and French Embassies, and the famous Hotel Adlon.

   5 min

3. Hilter had a multi-story underground structure built that served as his final residence, along with many Nazi officials, and as his place of death. It was deliberately destroyed after WWII and now a parking lot occupies the site.

   10 min

4. A vast plaza of irregular blocks, set at varying heights, inducing a maze-like sense of disorientation to abstractly convey the horrors of the Holocaust.

5. A 19th c.Neoclassical column, 67 m (219 ft) in height, that is one of the most recognizable monuments in Berlin. NOTE: We get a nice view of the column from near the Brandenburg Gate but DO NOT walk to the column as it is somewhat far and out of the direction of the itinerary.

About Berlin

Berlin is Germany's creative, open-minded capital, where landmarks of a turbulent history stand among art, green parks and legendary nightlife.

The Brandenburg Gate is the city's symbol, close to the glass-domed Reichstag and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Fragments of the Berlin Wall survive, most strikingly at the East Side Gallery, a long stretch covered in murals, and at the Bernauer Strasse memorial, while Checkpoint Charlie marks the most famous former crossing point.

Top-ranked sights in Berlin: Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor), Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (Holocaust Memorial), Checkpoint Charlie.
