Berlin Modern Capital – The Places of 20th Century History

Berlin is the city where 20th-century Europe has left its deepest traces.

Here, industrialization, empire, revolutions, dictatorship, destruction, the Cold War, and rebirth have intertwined.

In this tour, we will cross the city center to retrace the great transformations that have marked the last century: from imperial Berlin to the 1920s, from Nazism to the division of the Wall, up to the capital of reunified Germany.

We will walk among some of the city's most symbolic places — Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Holocaust Memorial, Potsdamer Platz, and the traces of the Wall — observing how history has shaped the urban space and the identity of contemporary Berlin.

Today, Berlin is one of Europe's main urban laboratories: a capital that has transformed the wounds of its history into culture, innovation, and new ways of living the city.

This tour is the ideal starting point to understand Berlin and begin to truly read its spaces, symbols, and contradictions.

Days Together UG offers walking tours designed to help you truly understand Berlin. The city is made of layers of history: empire, revolutions, dictatorship, division and rebirth. On our tours we tell these stories in a clear and engaging way, walking through the places where history actually happened. Our tours are designed as a journey: some provide a general overview of the city, while others explore specific themes such as East Berlin, the Wall, street art or the capital’s most iconic neighborhoods. The tours complement each other and allow you to discover Berlin step by step. Our team shares not only the history of the city, but also practical tips to experience it at its best: neighborhoods, museums, restaurants and places that are less known to tourists. Because Berlin is not a city to rush through. It is a city to understand, one day at a time. Days Together
