This tour focuses on Berlin during the Cold War era, a time when the city was split into East and West by the Berlin Wall.
We will explore the history and culture of this period, which began with the end of World War II and the emergence of Berlin as a central battleground in the Cold War between the two superpowers: the Soviet Union and the United States.

Berlin, divided into East and West, became the only place in the world where the armies of these two superpowers directly confronted each other. On this tour, we will discover what life was like in East Berlin under communist rule, hear stories of daring escapes over and under the Berlin Wall, and see how the Wall has transformed into a canvas for street art and a symbol of the Iron Curtain.
