Here you will leave your transportation and follow your guide through the Brandenburg Gate to the Reichstag, with its famous cupola, and the Holocaust Memorial.

During your city orientation, you will also see sites such as Museum Island, Unter den Linden Boulevard, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, the victory column, and a drive through part of the Tiergarten Park. A photo stop will be made at the Tempelhof Airlift Memorial as well. All through the tour, your local guide will be able to tell you more about the days of two Berlins and the changes Berlin has gone through since the German reunification.
