Description

Discover the highlights and hidden gems of Berlin on this immersive walking tour with an expert private guide. Explore the city's modern, vibrant capital city, famous for its bohemian, friendly atmosphere and trendy neighborhoods. Begin your tour in the Old Quarter, now called Nikolaiviertel. See the city's origins and learn about its history. Through the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Berlin became one of Europe’s leading cities in terms of power, education, and the arts. See the modern side of the city, a layered mixture of beautiful historic buildings, alongside the glass and concrete. Visit Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, filled with stunning neo-classical buildings and some of the most prestigious collections of art and history in Europe. Wander into Bebelplatz, where you will be able to see St Hedwig’s Cathedral, and the prestigious Humboldt University. The square is also infamous for the burning of Jewish texts in 1933 outside the Royal Library. Stop by Berlin Cathedral, the Pei building, and Berlin's famous opera house. See the moving Neue Wache, Germany’s central memorial for the victims of war and tyranny. Next, see the Berlin Palace, a reconstruction of the original baroque Prussian palace that stood for hundreds of years before irreparable damage sustained by allied bombings in WWII led to its demolition in 1950. The new Berlin Palace, completed in 2020, was the product of years of debate following German unification on what to do with this site and reflects the many currents and opinions post-reunification Berlin. End your tour with a visit to the Humboldt Forum, a museum dedicated to human history, art, and culture.
