Berlin Tours, Tickets and History Walks

Reichstag Dome Tours and Government District Walks

The Reichstag dome is free to enter but needs a registered time slot, which is why the guided tour of the Reichstag, dome and government district is the most booked activity in Germany: it handles the registration and explains the buildings along the Spree.

Berlin History Tours from the Wall to the Cold War

Berlin's walking tours are unusually good. The Third Reich and Cold War tour and the Discover Berlin walk are both rated 4.9 by thousands of travelers, covering the Brandenburg Gate, the Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie and the remains of the Wall. The iconic sights and hidden gems version is the three-hour extended cut.

Berlin Bike Tours and River Cruises

The Trabi safari puts you behind the wheel of an East German Trabant in a guided convoy. The three-hour bike tour is the fastest way to see the spread-out sights, and the one-hour boat tour on the Spree passes the Museum Island and the government quarter.

Berlin Day Trips to Sachsenhausen and Potsdam

The Sachsenhausen memorial and Potsdam full-day bus tour combines the concentration camp memorial north of the city with the palaces of Sanssouci.
