Walk the history, from the Brandenburg Gate to the Wall

Berlin's most powerful experiences are free and out in the open. Stand under the Brandenburg Gate, the symbol of a reunited Germany, trace the line of the Berlin Wall through the city, and visit the moving Holocaust Memorial, which never charges entry. The East Side Gallery, a 1.3km stretch of the Wall covered in famous murals, is an open-air gallery you can walk for nothing. A tip-based free walking tour is the best way to thread these together with the stories behind them. We'll suggest a route and which tour to look for.
