What To Expect

Reichstag Building

The tour takes you on an easy walk from the Reichstag, Germany's parliament building, to the haunting site of Hitler's Führerbunker and the Holocaust Memorial, with an optional visit to star-architect Norman Foster's huge glass dome and its hugely impressive view over the city. Start the tour in the app, put your phone in your pocket, and let your guide direct you through the streets. The total walking distance is approximately 1 km and takes about an hour without stopping, but you can pause anytime. Most people will opt to finish with a drink, currywurst or sit down meal at Potsdamer Platz's Sony Centre. The narration is crisply mastered by a professional audio engineering staff, creating an engaging experience that is suitable for all ages that can wear ear buds.

Admission Not Applicable

Brandenburg Gate

As you walk a portion of it, you'll hear your guide's memories from first seeing the Berlin wall in the 1970's, and his experience being there on the day when East Germany collapsed in November 1989.
