Berlin: Sachsenhausen Camp & East Side Gallery Tour English option

Explore the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial and the East Side Gallery on a guided tour from Berlin. Learn about the camp's history and see the Berlin Wall's famous murals.
Discover Berlin’s living history on a powerful and engaging tour that combines the vibrancy of the East Side with the depth and reflection of visiting the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial. The experience begins in one of the city’s most dynamic districts, where street culture, creativity and local life blend with the remnants of the Berlin Wall. As we cross the iconic Oberbaum Bridge and walk along the East Side Gallery, your guide will bring the past to life through the stories behind the murals, the division of the city and the significance of this open-air memorial that symbolizes hope, unity and the end of the Cold War. It’s the perfect introduction to understanding Berlin’s more recent history before traveling back to its darkest chapter.

From Ostbahnhof, we take a comfortable train ride to Oranienburg, where the atmosphere shifts as we approach Sachsenhausen. This former concentration camp—once a central model for the entire camp system—offers an essential and sobering perspective on the mechanisms of persecution and control under the Nazi regime. During the guided visit, you will explore key areas such as the main entrance gate, watchtowers, administrative buildings, barracks, punishment cells and the medical facilities, each one revealing a different facet of life and suffering inside the camp. Your guide will share historical context, survivor testimonies and lesser-known details that help you truly understand the purpose and evolution of Sachsenhausen throughout the years.

After the guided portion of the tour, you will have the flexibility to choose how you wish to conclude your experience. You may stay longer at the memorial to explore additional exhibitions at your own pace, spend time in the town of Oranienburg for a relaxed lunch, or return to central Berlin accompanied by the guide. This excursion offers a blend of culture, history and reflection, making it one of the most complete and meaningful experiences you can have during your stay in the city.
