After a much-deserved lunch break, you’ll dive straight into an exciting walk through the city, where you’ll explore Berlin’s unique history and architecture. You’ll hear about its days as the capital of the Prussian Empire, the world of the Kaisers, the devastation it saw during World War II and Hitler’s rise to power.
