Description

Explore Berlin’s iconic landmarks and hidden gems on a private walking tour. See the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, and more, while discovering the city’s creative side.
Start your walk at the Brandenburg Gate, the city’s most iconic symbol and the backdrop to countless historic moments, from Napoleonic parades to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Continue past the Reichstag, where the glass dome of the German Parliament looks out over the city, and hear how this building has been burned, bombed, and rebuilt.

Pause at the striking Holocaust Memorial, a field of concrete slabs that invites reflection and quiet conversation. Just around the corner, stand above the site of Hitler’s bunker, today an ordinary car park, and uncover how Berlin has chosen to deal with its darkest past.

Walk on to the Topography of Terror, where sections of the Berlin Wall still stand beside the former SS and Gestapo headquarters. Here you’ll see how the Cold War and the Nazi era overlap in one powerful location.

Next, head to Gendarmenmarkt, often called Berlin’s most beautiful square. With twin cathedrals and a grand concert hall, it’s a picture-perfect setting — but also alive with modern city life.

Finally, step off the tourist path into the hidden courtyards of Mitte. These tucked-away passages reveal another side of Berlin: colorful street art, small galleries, and cozy cafés that feel worlds away from the monuments.

In just 2.5 hours, you’ll walk through centuries of Berlin’s history — from Prussian kings to Cold War spies — while also discovering the creative, ever-changing city that locals know today.
