Begin your audio tour in the shadow of the Reichstag and see poignant, often overlooked memorials that most tourists miss. Wind your way through Tiergarten Park and down 17 June Street, named for the 1953 protests against the East German regime that took place on that day.

Along the way, your audio guide will point out commemorative sculptures and memorials, including the Ronald Reagan plaque, commemorating the politician’s 1987 visit, when he exclaimed, "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Tear down this Wall!"
Make a stop at Gerhard Marcks’ sculpture of a man shouting to East Berlin, entitled "Der Rufer," created before the fall of the wall, and see the two tanks that form the Soviet War Memorial in Tiergarten.
Continue to Louis Toaillon’s "Amazone zu Pferd," which, after many years of being moved from one spot to another, has found a permanent home in Tiergarten Park, and marvel at Wolfgang Siemering’s Beethoven-Haydn-Mozart Memorial.
Learn important information about the city, including about those who were killed trying to cross the wall and all those who perished during the Second World War. Finish your audio tour at Potsdamer Platz.
