Gendarmenmarkt tours, things to do and tickets

Discover Berlin’s architectural highlights with a knowledgeable private guide on this 4-hour sightseeing tour. Choose to do the tour on foot or by bike, and then explore the city, seeing the buildings, streets and squares that you want to see; the itinerary is tailored to specific requests! Admire modernist masterpieces at the Kulturforum, walk down Friedrichstrasse, learn about the architectural trio at Gendarmenmarkt, and hear how Berlin’s past political ideologies have influenced building designs around town.

After meeting at your hotel this private Berlin tour starts at the majestic Reichstag building, which has long stood at the centre of German history.

From there, explore the sprawling Pariser Platz and the famous Brandenburg Gate — once a symbol of German division, now a national symbol of peace and unity.

Next, head to the emotional Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe before walking past the almost-forgotten, unmarked site of Hitler’s bunker.
Follow along a preserved section of the Wall to reach the Topography of Terror museum. No visit to Berlin is complete without a visit to Checkpoint Charlie, of course — the best-known crossing point between East and West Berlin during the Cold War.

You’ll then head over to the Gendarmenmarkt, the most beautiful square in Berlin, and along Bebelplatz, past the Nazi book burning memorial and the restored State Opera.

Finally finish up at Museum Island, one of the most important museum sites in Europe.
