Tour description

🇬🇧 Step into the streets where history took a dark turn and discover Berlin as it was during the rise and fall of the Third Reich.

This 3-hour walking tour isn’t just a stroll—it’s a powerful journey through the landmarks, secrets, and scars left by World War II. From the imposing Brandenburg Gate, once a Nazi propaganda backdrop, we move to the Soviet War Memorial, a bold tribute to the Red Army. Stand in silence at the Holocaust Memorial, feel the weight of history at Hitler’s former bunker site, and explore the chilling ruins of the Gestapo HQ at the Topography of Terror. We end at Bebelplatz, where the flames of censorship began with the infamous Nazi book burning. Hear true stories of power, fear, resistance, and survival. If you're looking for more than dates and facts—if you want to feel history—this is the tour for you. Book now and walk the path where the past still echoes.

🇵🇹 Entre nas ruas onde a história tomou um rumo sombrio e descubra Berlim como era durante a ascensão e queda do Terceiro Reich. 

Este tour a pé de 3 horas não é apenas um passeio—é uma jornada intensa pelos marcos, segredos e cicatrizes deixadas pela Segunda Guerra Mundial. Do imponente Portão de Brandemburgo, que já serviu como cenário para a propaganda nazista, seguimos para o Memorial de Guerra Soviético, uma homenagem ousada ao Exército Vermelho. Silencie diante do Memorial do Holocausto, sinta o peso da história no antigo bunker de Hitler e explore as ruínas inquietantes da sede da Gestapo na Topografia do Terror. Terminamos na Bebelplatz, onde as chamas da censura começaram com a infame queima de livros nazista. Ouça histórias reais de poder, medo, resistência e sobrevivência. Se você busca mais do que datas e fatos—se quer sentir a história—este é o tour ideal para você. Reserve agora e caminhe por onde o passado ainda ecoa.
