Description
Explore Berlin’s divided past with a local historian on a 3-hour, small-group tour of the city’s key communist-era sites. Start your tour at the Brandenburg Gate that divided East and West Berlin, and learn how families were separated as they tried to pass through the Friedrichstrasse train station. Visit a moving memorial to murdered East Berliners at the once-notorious ‘death strip.’ See an expansive Soviet housing complex and the headquarters of East Germany’s secret police, then finish your tour at Alexanderplatz, where fierce demonstrations helped end Communist rule.
