Points forts

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 Berlin

Berlin, capitale créative et ouverte d'esprit : monuments d'une histoire tourmentée, art, parcs verts et vie nocturne légendaire.

La porte de Brandebourg est le symbole de la ville, près du Reichstag à coupole de verre et du Mémorial aux Juifs assassinés d'Europe. Des fragments du mur de Berlin subsistent, le plus frappant étant l'East Side Gallery, long tronçon couvert de fresques, et le mémorial de la Bernauer Strasse, tandis que Checkpoint Charlie marque l'ancien poste-frontière le plus célèbre.

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