Highlights
This tour begins at Nordbahnhof, the so-called Ghost Station, with a mix of the news that was broadcast around the world on the day the Berlin Wall fell. Be guided by 3D sound effects and follow the voice of your narrator. Your walk will take you to the Berlin Wall Memorial Visitor Center, where you will discover the "Street of Tears." You'll also learn about the Window of Remembrance, where you can see how the steel pipes protruding from the ground recreate the exact course of the Wall. The memorial consists of a seventy meter long piece of the original wall, which makes it one of the most emotional places in Berlin and a place to pay respect to the victims of this chapter of history. The walk continues to the Documentation Center and The Viewing Platform, where the narrator will tell you the story of Checkpoint Charlie. The tour ends at the last station that stands for the forgiveness and the resistance of the German people: the Chapel of Reconciliation.

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.
