Embark on a private exploration of significant locations tied to the Berlin Wall and the Cold War in the company of Birchy or one of our knowledgeable guides. You’ll delve into the Berlin Wall’s chronology, details, and reasons as you traverse the remarkable Berlin Wall Memorial, which retains portions of the death-strip conserved and partly rebuilt. The memorial, unique even before the remembrance initiatives following the Wall’s fall, is marked by astonishing escapes and heartbreaking fatalities.

From the Wall Memorial, our journey continues to a sector of Mitte enclosed by the Berlin Wall, bordering the American sector from the south and the British sector from the west. Here, we’ll behold Check Point Charlie (the most famous crossing between West and East), the vast former House of Ministries buildings (among the scarce surviving Nazi ministry structures), and then head to the last remaining BT-variant Watchtower, which we can actually climb up.

The tour concludes at Potsdamer Platz. Once one of Europe’s most crowded urban junctions, the area was laid to waste at the close of World War II, with remaining structures further obliterated by the erection of the Wall and the creation of the death-strip. Today, as a flourishing business and entertainment hub, it represents a striking testament to a city’s ability to recover from devastating societal calamity.
