BERLIN · GERMANY
Reichstag, the Wall, Kreuzberg at dusk.
Spree boats and Kreuzberg bikes. Reichstag mornings and Sachsenhausen afternoons. Potsdam, the East Side Gallery, and the long ride east.
The Reichstag morning
The morning that starts most Berlin trips.
Berlin’s most-booked tour. The Norman Foster dome, the Plenary Chamber, and the long view down Unter den Linden.
The classics
Berlin’s Most Popular Day Tours
Reichstag and the Spree, the Wall route and Sachsenhausen, hop-on buses and Hidden Backyards walks. The tours most travellers come for.
Three histories, one city
The three Berlins, still standing.
Imperial capital. Third Reich and the bunker. Cold War and the Wall. Three chapters Berlin layered on top of itself — you can walk between them in an afternoon.
Seat of government
The Reichstag & the dome
Where modern Germany governs. The 19th-century building, the Norman Foster glass dome bolted onto it after 1989, and the Bundestag-era quarter that grew up around them after reunification. Free to visit if you book ahead — and the most-booked tour in town.

Bunker to barrier
Third Reich & the Cold War
The Topography of Terror, the Olympic Stadium, the Berlin airlift, the Stasi files. Two regimes the city remembers in plaques, museums, and the unmarked patches of ground where buildings used to be.

The line that split the city
The Wall & Checkpoint Charlie
Twenty-eight years of concrete down the middle of Berlin, almost all of it gone by 1991. What’s left is the East Side Gallery, the Mauerpark stretch, Checkpoint Charlie and the museums that fill in the rest.

Berlin in motion
Two ways to see the city.
Boat for the Spree and the lake landscape. Bike for the Wall route, Kreuzberg and the long ride east. Pick one for the morning, the other for the afternoon.
The Spree day
On the Water
Berlin grew along the Spree, and the river is still the best vantage on the centre of the city. One-hour cruises through Mitte, three-hour stretches out to the Müggelsee, sunset solar catamarans past the East Side Gallery.

The Wall ride
On Two Wheels
Berlin is flat, the bike lanes go everywhere, and the Wall route is signposted from one end of the city to the other. Kreuzberg in the morning, Mitte at midday, and east into the Friedrichshain murals when you’re ready.
