Germany's capital invites travelers to experience not just one, but two cities: a land first divided and then dramatically reunited. With such a complex past, an Essential Free Tour of Berlin will be the best introduction to all the must-see landmarks of the city. In addition, this free tour also allows travelers to see with their own eyes the imprint left by the Communist regime during the Cold War. Free Tours can follow different routes depending on the creativity of the guide and the dynamics of the group, but the Reichstag is a must-see landmark in any walk around Berlin. This beautiful classical building is the seat of the Bundestag, the lower house of the German Parliament. (Note: Travelers who wish to visit its impressive dome during their stay in Berlin must register in advance.) Nearby, you can take photos of the majestic Brandenburg Gate, the best-known symbol of Berlin.

From beautiful Paris Square, guests will stroll under the shade of the tree-lined Unter den Linden Boulevard to reach other famous Berlin landmarks. On their way, travelers will also get to know the lively Friedrichstrasse, a commercial street with many inviting cafés and elegant boutiques. A highlight of the tour is Konzerthaus Berlin—the city's chamber music and concert hall. This sumptuous 18th-century building has been the soul of famous German classical music since its very opening, and still fascinates the many music fans who visit the building every year. In Gendarmenmarkt, the majestic square where the concert hall stands, guests will enjoy other impressive buildings: the German and French Cathedrals. With so much to see, it's no wonder that this square is one of the favorite spots for tourists to take unforgettable photos.

Throughout the Essential Free Tour in Berlin there will also be time to take an educational journey through the modern history of the German capital. Of course, your guide will speak movingly about the victims killed during World War II and the horrors of the Nazi regime. In particular, the group will spend some time walking in front of the Monument to the Murdered Jews of Europe. In addition, participants will be able to see remains of the Berlin Wall preserved today. Nearby, guests will find the infamous Checkpoint Charlie: the checkpoint between the east and west sides of the wall where many citizens found a tragic end. Finally, the tour may head towards the huge Museum Island and the Berliner Dom, the great cathedral of Berlin. So, what are you waiting for to book the most complete Introductory Free Tour to Berlin?
