World War II, Berlin

AM - Walking tour

After breakfast at your accommodation, meet up with your tour guide for a walking tour of the Potsdamer Platz. A once military transport centre, it is now rebuilding itself to be one of the main commercial hubs of the city. From here your tour guide will take you back to the Holocaust Memorial where you can learn more about one of the darkest moments in human history. Conclude your morning exploration in Berlin with a visit to the Topography of Terror, where the chilling exhibits unravel the layers of Nazi history, providing a sobering yet essential understanding of the city's past.

PM - Jewish Museum & Checkpoint Charlie

After a thought-provoking morning at the Topography of Terror, delve further into the city's narrative at the Jewish Museum. Traverse the architectural marvel that mirrors the complex history of Jewish life in Germany, immersing yourself in exhibits that seamlessly blend art, history, and personal stories. Following this, venture to the iconic Checkpoint Charlie, a Cold War symbol and historical border crossing.

In the morning board a coach that will take you to the outskirts of the city, and to the unassuming villa, Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz.
