Uncover this city’s hidden history

Retrace Berlin’s evolution from a small, fishing village to the capital of Prussia. Stroll down the city’s royal boulevard, Unter den Linden. Track Berlin’s growth as it became the center of the Enlightenment under Fredrick the Great, the scene of occupation by Napolean, and the capital of Bismarck’s German Empire. As you delve deeper into German history, learn about the era of the Teutonic Knights through its key role in major events of the twentieth century.

Berlin Through the Ages

Notice how the city stayed unparalleled as the capital through the Nazi Third Reich, the divided capital of the Cold War, and the modern capital of Unified Germany in the new world. Spot Göering’s former Luftwaffe HQ, site of Himmler’s former SS, and Gestapo HQ at the Topography of Terror. Visit the Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe and spend a moment in silence. Walk over the site of Hitler’s Bunker and enter the moving Memorial dedicated to victims of War and Tyranny.

Ascertain Hitler’s Ideologies

Stop by the location where the Nazis burned books in the infamous book-burning of 1933. Arrive at the Berlin Wall and touch a section to know why this area was called the ‘death strip'. Spend time at Checkpoint Charlie, the exact location where an American-Soviet standoff took place and the imminent threat of World War II was felt. Get to know about the Reichstag’s tumultuous years, from its German Empire history, Weimar Republic’s failed democracy, Nazi Rise in 1933, entrapment at the Berlin Wall during the Cold War, and its symbolism in present-day Germany’s transparent democracy.

End your tour with a flourish at the historic and picturesque Pariser Platz right in front of the beautiful Brandenburg Gate.
