Free Tour of the Berlin Wall + Cold War
Tour description
We will discover how that division of Germany was through its ghost stations, the ruins of what was the Berlin Wall and the incredible stories of people who risked everything for the dream of freedom on the west side of the city. We will visit the Palace of Tears (Tränenpalast), an old train station crossing between the two Germanies, and the stories of ghost stations of Nordbahnhof, which were boarded up and guarded to prevent people from crossing to the western side. In the Window of Remembrance, our guide in Spanish will tell us the stories of those who died trying to cross the wall, to whom tribute is paid in the Church of Reconciliation. We will also remember some of the most curious and unusual leaks that, fortunately, ended well. Our Free Berlin Wall and Cold War Tour ends at the Bernauer Strasse Memorial, a memorial monument of the historic border that contains an original piece of the Wall.
