Description
Welcome to Berlin!
Are you looking for an energetic, knowledgeable, and historically rich tour of Berlin, covering the city's most important highlights?
You're in the right place!
With an open-minded approach, and a great sense of humor, this tour is the perfect way to kick off your Berlin experience.
I’m here to tell you a story that keeps you curious and engaged, but most of all, I’m here for your questions. That’s what makes the tour fun (for me at least)!
We’ll start by refreshing our memory with WWII history made right here in Berlin. From there, we’ll dive into how this led to the Cold War and what impact that still has on the city today. Our first stop sets the foundation for everything we’ll see after, as we explore what’s around us, and the stories behind it.
I like to keep the tour as chronological as possible, so the historical narrative flows as we move from stop to stop. And yes, we’ll touch on some heavy topics, but my goal is that by the end of the tour, you’ll feel energized and inspired to keep exploring Berlin on your own.
What will we see during the tour?
- Topography of Terror (meeting point)
- Checkpoint Charlie
- Gendarmenmarkt
- Bebelplatz
- Museum Island
- Brandenburg Gate
- Reichstag
- Holocaust Memorial (end point)
We will see all of this in the evening light, which will offer us beautiful views of the impressive monuments. Afterwards, it's the perfect opportunity to explore the local bars.
