This three-hour walking tour in Berlin covers key sites related to East Germany's history. Starting at Potsdamer Platz, the group takes the S-Bahn to Nordbahnhof, a former ghost station that was closed for nearly 30 years after the Berlin Wall was built. The tour then moves to the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauerstrasse, where visitors see an original section of the death strip and hear about escape attempts, tunnels, and the people who died because of the Wall. Next, the group visits Alexanderplatz, where they learn about the peaceful protests that challenged STASI’s repression and contributed to the fall of the Wall and the Soviet bloc. The tour ends at the East Side Gallery, a remaining section of the Wall featuring 104 murals, including the well-known painting of the kiss between Brezhnev and Honecker. A French-speaking local guide leads the tour, and local taxes are included. Participants must arrange their own transportation and bring a public transport day ticket for zones AB.
