Ah, Berlin! From humble village beginnings to the capital of the mighty kingdom, then empire, through darkness and division of the Nazi and Communist eras and back to its glory as the defining capital of European culture, trends and fanciness \u2013 what a place to tell stories about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our tour we will journey from the east to the west, crossing times, rivers and stories that, especially in the last 200 years, have shaped not only the city but the entire world. Let us tell you who that Alexander on the Platz <\/em>was, is there really any medieval Berlin and what are the connections between American and German Martin Luthers. Add to that the Humboldt University, Checkpoint Charlie and our finishing point, the Brandenburg Gate with its memories from the time of the Wall and you will have learned the basics of Berlin\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will also revisit the stories connected with the darkest moments of the city, nation and Europe: Adolf Hitler\u2019s rise to power and the resulting war and the Holocaust \u2013 the Jewish Memorial will remind us of the fragility of the world around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the upper note feel free to ask us about the local hip and party scene, many calling it the defining nightlife scene of Europe and the beginning of the world trends. Berlin has learned its lesson \u2013 let the feeling of inclusiveness, hundreds of cultures coexisting and shaping the world for better take you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the tour we will see and discuss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
