Learn about the Cold War
- Start your tour at the iconic Brandenburg Gate, which is one of the most famous landmarks in Germany. Built-in the late 18th century, this neoclassical monument is a symbol of peace and unity.
- After admiring the Brandenburg Gate, head to Potsdamer Platz, a bustling square in the heart of Berlin. Here you'll find a mix of historic and modern architecture, as well as plenty of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options.
- Next, visit the DDR Watch Tower, which is located near the Berlin Wall. This tower was once used by East German border guards to keep watch over the wall and prevent people from crossing over to the West.
- From the watch tower, take a short walk to the Berlin Wall strip on Niederkirchner Strasse. This is one of the last remaining sections of the wall, and it has been preserved as a memorial to the division of the city.
- After seeing the Berlin Wall, head to Checkpoint Charlie, which was one of the most famous border crossings during the Cold War. Today, it's a popular tourist attraction where you can learn more about the history of the wall and the division of Berlin.
- Finally, take the underground train a few stops to Friedrichstrasse to visit the Tränenpalast. This building was once a border crossing between East and West Germany, and it's now a museum that tells the stories of people who passed through the checkpoint.
