The Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial

Free walk

1.46 km · 11 stops · 49 min

The Reichstag, the Brandenburg Gate and the Memorial

You start in front of the Reichstag, where bronze letters cast from cannon waited twenty-two years, made by a Jewish family firm that the Nazi regime later robbed and decimated.

1.68 km · 12 stops · 56 min

Alexanderplatz and the TV Tower: Legends of East Berlin

You start in front of Marx and Engels, who no longer face the way people say they do, and a Red Town Hall that isn't red because it's communist, and whose chronicle in stone was rebuilt from photographs lent by ordinary Berliners.

1.52 km · 12 stops · 52 min

Berlin's Jewish Quarter: from Rosenstraße to the New Synagogue

You start in Rosenstraße, where in the winter of 1943 families, mostly women, stood in the street and asked for their husbands and children back.

1.53 km · 12 stops · 52 min

The Wall on Bernauer Straße: the street split in two

On Bernauer Straße, the houses belonged to the East and the pavement to the West.

1.71 km · 12 stops · 56 min

Museum Island, the Palace and the Nikolaiviertel

You start at the Neue Wache, in front of the mother sculpted by Käthe Kollwitz.

1.39 km · 13 stops · 54 min

From Wilhelmstrasse to Checkpoint Charlie: from Nazi power to the Wall

You begin in front of the ministry Göring had built for himself, with more than two thousand offices, where one officer led a circle of resistance.

Berlin, before you go

Berlin alternates broad avenues, courtyards and neighbourhoods with lives of their own. Walk each area slowly and use transport between them: several good walks make more sense than one marathon.
