Hoogtepunten

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 Berlijn

Berlijn is Duitslands creatieve, ruimdenkende hoofdstad, met monumenten uit een bewogen geschiedenis tussen kunst, parken en legendarisch nachtleven.

De Brandenburger Tor is het symbool van de stad, vlak bij de Reichstag met zijn glazen koepel en het Monument voor de vermoorde Joden van Europa. Stukken van de Berlijnse Muur zijn bewaard gebleven, het opvallendst bij de East Side Gallery, een lang stuk vol muurschilderingen, en bij het gedenkteken aan de Bernauer Strasse, terwijl Checkpoint Charlie de beroemdste voormalige grensovergang markeert.

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