A great "introduction to Berlin." - It was more specifically a "Berlin Tour - The Must-Sees." It was a visit lasting over 3 hours, covering about 8 km on foot, which was very interesting. We passed through well-known places, but also through others that we would not have spontaneously visited. Marie, our guide, led us through different periods of the city's history with enthusiasm and expertise. A very nice way to explore this city. I recommend it!
