Introduction
Join us for a historical exploration of Berlin’s Third Reich history through our special tour. The tour path is built for students who want to discover Hitler’s story and WWII history across Berlin. This tour brings you through the main sites with expert historical context and reveals the essential stories of World War II in Berlin.
1. Hitler’s Rise to Power
To fully understand World War II you need to study how Hitler became powerful in Germany. Our tour starts at the historic Brandenburg Gate to describe how political changes in Germany post World War I helped lead to Hitler’s rise. We explain these factors during our walk through the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.
2. We examine the power centers of the Reichstag building and Hitler’s Chancellery office.
People associate the Reichstag building with both the democratic loss of Germany during World War II and Berlin’s strong recovery afterward. Moving forward on our tour we explain how the Nazis rose to power after burning down the Reichstag building. Our tour takes us to see the spot where Hitler’s Chancellery used to be located so we can learn about its design and its political function while he ruled.
3. The Holocaust Memorial
Every examination of Nazi Germany must focus on the Holocaust to be complete. The Holocaust Memorial which Germans call Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe stands as a graceful monument to remember victims who died in the Holocaust. Our establishment lets you remember past atrocities and show respect for victims of those times.
4. Topography of Terror
On site of the Nazi headquarters the Topography of Terror reveals the full extent of Nazi crimes through its extensive exhibition collection. Our team uses photos documents and historical knowledge to show you how the Nazi regime controlled and persecuted German society.

After World War II ended Berlin split in two sections to shape city history for decades. Our tour includes Checkpoint Charlie as we explore the main crossing point between the Cold War’s East and West Berlin sectors. We inspect Berlin Wall ruins and share why it was established and how it affected the lives of people who lived in divided Berlin.
