Overview

Embark on a comprehensive driving tour of Berlin with an expert guide, covering the city's major highlights and hidden gems over its 800-year history. From its medieval origins to the industrialization and Imperial expansion of the 19th century, to its iconic place in 20th-century events and its modern nightlife.

See the Victory Column in the Tiergarten. A monument to honor the Prussian victories over Austria, France, and Denmark, situated in the 200-acre park that was once the royal hunting grounds. From the Brandenburg Gate and the magnificent Reichstag (parliament), you'll see famous shopping street Kurfürstendamm and the Kaiser Memorial Church. Then drive down the tree-lined Unter Linden Boulevard to see the majestic UNESCO-listed Museum Island, Berlin Palace, and Cathedral.

Stop at the somber Holocaust Memorial and Bebelplatz where the 1933 book burnings happened. Explore the East Side Gallery, Berlin Wall, and Checkpoint Charlie, the most powerful symbols of the Cold War era.
