Overview
We will pass the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and the Führerbunker, Adolf Hitler's hiding place, marking the end of one of the darkest episodes in history. Next, we will head to the former Reich Air Ministry, where we will observe the characteristic architecture of the Nazi regime.
At the site of the ruins of the Gestapo and the SS, we will meet the Berlin Wall, to delve into the history of the divided city during the Cold War. Then we will approach the famous Checkpoint Charlie, the best known of the Wall's crossing points, where Cold War tension nearly triggered a major conflict.
Our tour will continue at the Gendarmenmarkt, one of the most beautiful squares in Berlin, where you can admire the twin churches that evoke the Prussian past of the city. Finally, we will arrive at the historic Bebelplatz, a place that brings to mind another tragic episode of the Nazi regime: this square witnessed the burning of books, a dark symbol of censorship and repression.
