Highlights
Join us on an unforgettable guided tour to Sachsenhausen, one of the most significant Holocaust memorial sites and a former Nazi concentration camp. This experience offers deep and respectful insight into the history and daily life within the camp, helping you understand the atrocities and resilience of those who suffered here. Our meeting point is Alexanderplatz, where you will be welcomed by an expert local guide. From there, we’ll embark on a scenic train ride to Sachsenhausen. Upon arrival, you will explore key sites of the camp, including the infamous Tower A, bearing the haunting “Arbeit macht frei” sign. We will walk through barracks 38 and 39, where Jewish prisoners were held, visit the punishment cells, the infirmary, and the morgue. You’ll also see the kitchen, now transformed into a museum, and the remains of Station Z. At the end of the tour, you have the option to return to Berlin with the group or stay longer to explore at your own pace.

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.
