Brandenburg Gate
One of the most iconic gates in Europe. Learn about why it was constructed and how it became a focal point for the different Berlin's and Germany's that formed (and fell) after its construction and an important symbol of divided Berlin during the Cold War. Don't be afraid to ask your guide for a photo!:)

We will introduce you to the Hohenzollern's and share with you why the building was built, how it played a major role in the solidification of the Nazi Dictatorship in early 1933, how it was the scene of savage fighting in the culmination of the Soviet Battle of Berlin and every thing that happened to the building up to and after German Reunification.

Our guide was exceptional, Cairan Ryan of Berchys Berlin. His depth of knowledge about all things Berlin and WW2 and everything remotely related was astounding. He kept us riveted for the entire tour and left us wanting more.

This is one of the most personal, informed, comprehensive and absorbing tours I have ever participated in. From making imposing buildings relevant to enabling one to access confronting emotional but critical historical incidents Ciaran excelled. Putting historical information and living memory history into digestible stories is a skill and Ciaran certainly managed this. I would recommend his tour to anyone. In addition his generosity in sharing his knowledge and stories was exceptional…so a very satisfying day.
