Free tour of the Berlin Wall and the GDR.
Tour description
During the Second World War, the world was divided into two blocks: capitalist and communist. Out of fear of atomic war, the USSR and the United States launched an ideological, economic, technological, artistic, educational war... the Cold War.
Berlin was a point of maximum tension, especially after the construction of the Berlin Wall, which became the icon of this historical period. Discover with us why the Wall of Shame was built, what it meant for families to be separated and what thousands of people were able to do to jump over the wall and start a new life.
We start at the Palace of Tears, where we sit comfortably and have a historical introduction, visit a ghost station, and at the Bernauerestrasse memorial we see the original wall and talk about its victims. We end at the East Side Gallery to enjoy urban art.
