Berlin Third Reich Walking Tour
Description
Walk Through the Shadows of History Berlin was the nerve center of one of the darkest regimes the world has ever known — and on this 2-hour walking tour, you’ll step into the very streets where it all unfolded. From the Reichstag to the chilling remains of Hitler’s underground bunker, this tour takes you deep into the heart of the former Nazi government district. Stand at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and hear the stories of those who suffered under Hitler’s brutal rule. Learn how a once-democratic nation slid into dictatorship — and how Berlin became the stage for both devastation and resistance. Led by an expert guide, you’ll uncover the chilling rise and dramatic fall of the Third Reich, tracing the final days of World War II from the very ground where history was made. You’ll also hop on public transport during the tour, so be sure to bring a short-trip AB ticket with you.

Itinerary
Your Half-day Berlin Walking Tour begins in front of the Brandenburg Gate.
Walk with your guide as you learn about the heart of darkness that transformed a WWI scarred country into the near triumphant victors of WWII.
This powerful memorial, composed of 2,711 concrete slabs of varying heights, stands as a stark tribute to the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. As you navigate its narrow, uneven pathways, the towering slabs create a sense of isolation and unease — an intentional design meant to evoke the uncertainty and despair experienced during this dark chapter of history.
Explore the area where the Nazi regime once held power, including the site of Hitler’s underground bunker, now a simple parking lot. Though little remains, your guide will bring history to life, recounting the final days of the Third Reich and how this district once shaped the course of WWII.
Walk through the former Jewish neighbourhood in Berlin, as you learn about the Nazi's despicable treatment of the Jewish people. See the buildings and the remains of those that were key to the Nazi’s grip on Germany as you examine Hitler’s rise to power, and eventual downfall. See the Old Synagogue and visit the former Jewish cemetery desecrated by the Nazis.
