Description

Discover the history of Germany's capital through its monuments, streets, and squares with this free tour of Berlin. A fascinating walking tour awaits!

Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Pariser Platz in front of the Academy of Arts, to start this free tour of Berlin. From here, we'll cross through the Brandenburg Gate, the most emblematic monument of the German capital, and head towards various places in the city linked to World War II.

We'll first pass by the Holocaust Memorial and then the Führerbunker, Adolf Hitler's former bunker, both symbols of one of the darkest episodes of Germany's history.

The tour will then continue to the former Reich Air Ministry, one of the remaining sections of the Berlin Wall, and the legendary Checkpoint Charlie, which was considered one of the most dangerous places in the world during the Cold War.

Next, we'll head to the Gendarmenmarkt, where we'll see its twin churches from the outside. Our final stop will be in Bebelplatz, a square that was the site of a massive book burning during the Nazi era. After a total of 3.5 hours, the tour will come to an end in this square.

Group Size

This free tour doesn't admit groups of more than 6 people, even if they book the activity separately. If you're a larger group, check out our private tour of Berlin.

Free tour Berlín. Hicimos este tour con Jorge, nuestro guía: su manera de acercarnos a la hIstoria, de transmitir la información y de captar nuestra atención fue extraordinaria. La visita duró algo más de 2 horas, por los principales puntos de interés de Berlín: Puerta de Brandeburgo; Monumento Memoria Judíos; El Muro (Sector Wilhelmstrasse); Check Point Charlie; Gerdanmermarkt; Bebeplatz; Unter den Linden...) Con una parada para tomar algo a mitad de la ruta.Sin duda, lo recomiendo. Translate this opinion into English.

Free walking tour of Berlin. We took this tour with Jorge, our guide: his way of introducing us to history, conveying information, and capturing our attention was extraordinary. The tour lasted just over two hours, covering Berlin's main points of interest: the Brandenburg Gate; the Jewish Memorial; the Wall (Wilhelmstrasse Sector); Checkpoint Charlie; Gerdanmermarkt; Bebeplatz; Unter den Linden, etc.) with a stop for a drink halfway through the tour. I definitely recommend it. Opinion translated. Show original.

La verdad es que un free tour es imprescindible y más en una ciudad como Berlin donde hay tanto que visitar y conocer. Nosotros tuvimos la suerte de hacerlo el primer día aunque íbamos justos de tiempo y nuestro guía fue Jorge, un chico chileno muy simpático que nos explicó la historia de Berlín con todo detalle. Lo recomiendo 100%. Translate this opinion into English.

The truth is that a free tour is a must, especially in a city like Berlin, where there's so much to see and do. We were lucky enough to do it on the first day, even though we were short on time. Our guide was Jorge, a very friendly Chilean guy who explained Berlin's history in detail. I highly recommend it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro guía Juan ha sido excelente, la verdad que nos hizo la visita súper interesante. Se nota que sabe de la historia de Berlín y que le gusta . Porque la verdad el grupo era excesivamente grande, para poder controlarlo, pero aún así nuestro guía lo sacó adelante. Muchas gracias a Juan( de Uruguay, lo digo por si hay otro). Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Juan, was excellent; he truly made our visit incredibly interesting. It's clear he knows Berlin's history and loves it. The truth is, the group was too large to handle, but our guide still pulled it off. Many thanks to Juan (from Uruguay, just in case there's another one). Opinion translated. Show original.
