The Old Berlin Tour: Travel Through Time With a Historian

About this activity

Embark on a captivating two-hour walking tour through the heart of old Berlin, where we unravel the city's rich history through some of its squares and iconic monuments. Get ready for those delightful "a-ha, now I get it!" moments that will bring the past to life.

Delve into the secrets of "Lost Berlin," where the medieval core was wiped away, redesigned, and reimagined. It's like stepping into a lost city, but fear not – you will uncover the hidden gems and fascinating stories that make this part of Berlin so gripping.

Witness the profound impact of politics over the last 150 years as you explore a city that has seen buildings moved, rebuilt, replaced, and reinterpreted. The city centre is an ever-changing puzzle, and our tour is your guide to understanding how the pieces fit together in the heart of the largely re-imagined old city.
