Berlin, the Third Reich, and the Cold War: why this tour can help you understand the city

Berlin is not a city that can be understood simply by looking at its buildings. Many of its best-known places were symbols of Nazi power, scenes of destruction during World War II, flashpoints during the Cold War, and later spaces connected to German reunification.

Walking alongside a section of the Berlin Wall or ending at Checkpoint Charlie helps you visualize how a city remained divided for decades. With a guide, the visit gains structure and it becomes easier to understand the relationship between each stop.
