Berlin: Third Reich and the Nazi Rise to Power Walking Tour

Explore Berlin’s Nazi past, uncover the stories behind the regime’s rise and fall, and discover how Hitler’s dictatorship transformed Germany and Europe.
Step into one of the darkest chapters of Berlin’s history and discover how a democracy descended into dictatorship, how Nazi ideology reshaped German society, and how the consequences of Hitler’s rule changed the course of European history.

On this guided walking tour, you’ll explore the history of Nazi Germany through the places, events and personal stories that help explain how the regime came to power and maintained its grip on the country. Go beyond familiar names and dates to understand the political tensions, propaganda and social changes that shaped life under the swastika.

Berlin still bears the marks of this era, although many of its most significant sites are less imposing than you might expect. With your local guide, you’ll connect the surviving landmarks and historic locations with the events that unfolded here, from the consolidation of Nazi power to the devastation of the Second World War and the regime’s eventual collapse.

This tour offers more than a history lesson. It’s an opportunity to reflect on how extremist ideologies gain support, how democratic institutions can be undermined, and why understanding the past remains essential today. Through historical context and engaging storytelling, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Berlin and the forces that shaped modern Germany.

The tour includes travel by public transport between Berlin’s Mitte district and the Brandenburg Gate area. Please bring a valid public transport ticket for the journey, as it is not included in the tour.
