Overview
If the Cold War were a game of chess on a global scale, in Berlin the first piece was moved and checkmate would be played. Here, communism and capitalism competed, divided by a wall that for 28 years separated families, friends, ways of understanding life and that would become the symbol of the divided world/Cold War.
The post-World War II period is possibly one of the most complex moments in contemporary history. To understand it, and to understand Berlin, is to understand the world today.
In our tour we will tell you in detail what happened in the period 1945-1989, using the memorials and historical sites preserved by the German state.
What was it like to live in a city that was divided into two economic systems for 40 years?
What was the role of the USA and the USSR during this period? How did the transport system work in a divided city?
These and many more questions will be answered during this tour.
