1. We start at Pariser Platz, next to the Brandenburg Gate. Your guide tells you how this 1791 gate lost its quadriga to Napoleon, how it was locked in the death strip during the Cold War, and why in 1989 it became the symbol of German reunification.

2. We tour the Holocaust memorial, 2,711 concrete blocks designed by Peter Eisenman without a single explanatory plaque. Your guide explains why it was conceived this way and what feeling it seeks to evoke when walking among the blocks.

About Berlin

Berlin er Tysklands kreative, åpensinnede hovedstad, der landemerker fra en urolig historie står blant kunst, grønne parker og legendarisk natteliv.

Brandenburger Tor er byens symbol, nær Riksdagsbygningen med glasskuppelen og Minnesmerket over de myrdede jødene i Europa. Rester av Berlinmuren finnes ennå, mest slående ved East Side Gallery, en lang strekning dekket av veggmalerier, og ved minnesmerket i Bernauer Strasse, mens Checkpoint Charlie markerer det mest berømte tidligere grenseovergangsstedet.

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