Learn about the rise and fall of the Third Reich on this private tour — from its troubled beginnings to the brutality of the Nazi regime and its eventual demise.
Your route will take you to the most important landmarks that define Berlin’s history during that era. Visit the Reichstag building (from the outside), which oversaw many of the events that led Berlin into the Third Reich.
Make a stop at Bebelplatz, site of the infamous Nazi book burnings. And see the former site of the Führerbunker, Hitler’s final operational hiding place — an unmarked spot that you’d likely miss on your own.
You’ll also visit many of the city’s memorials, including the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and the Topography of Terror, a photographic memorial that takes you through the key events of the 1930s and WWII period.
Other stops on this tour include Brandenburg Gate, Pariser Platz, the German Historical Museum, the Academy of the Arts and the former Reichsbank Building.
