Berlin Walking Tour Highlights of the City Sights and History

Tick off the biggest attractions during your holiday to Berlin with this walking tour. Following the guide around the city’s streets, you’ll see what’s left of the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburg Gate and much more.

This tour covers a 2.5 km patch of Berlin, meaning you’ll really get to grips with the city’s mishmash of architecture styles on top of all the sightseeing. You’ll visit the remains of the Berlin Wall and the Brandenburg Gate. The former was built by the Soviet Union in 1961 and separated the capital into eastern and western districts until it was torn down in the 1990s. The remnants of what’s left are all plastered in graffiti, and you’ll hear about the mood of the city’s two halves during the time it was split.

The Brandenburg Gate, is an 18th century Neoclassical monument near the city centre. Also check out the Bebelplatz, a square in the Mitte district that’s home to the Berline State Opera and St. Hedwig’s Cathedral – the latter’s over 250 years old.
