Berlin was the center of Nazi Germany and the Third Reich. This walking tour lasts about two and a half hours and covers the key locations and events related to the Nazi regime’s rise and collapse. A local guide with academic expertise in World War II history leads the small group through significant sites while explaining the political and social factors behind the Nazis’ seizure of power, the targeting of Jewish and other groups, and the regime’s control through fear and propaganda. The tour visits memorials and historical sites including the Reichstag building where Hitler rose to power, the monument for Jewish victims, the memorial to Roma and Sinti victims, and the monument for persecuted homosexuals. It also covers the Battle of Berlin’s intense fighting and remembrance, the Führer bunker where Hitler spent his last days, and the Gestapo headquarters site where guests can take a break. Additional stops include the German Ministry of Aviation building and a discussion of resistance efforts such as the assassination attempt by Johann Georg Elser. Included are "Then & Now" photos and historic maps to help visualize changes over time. The guide allows time for questions and reflection throughout the tour. Food and drinks are not included.
