Adolf Hitler celebrated his victory in the Reichstag elections of 1933 with long torchlight marches through the Brandenburg Gate. The city tour begins at this "gate of destiny for the Germans" and leads right into the former government district of the National Socialists. After their seizure of power, they occupied the time-honored palaces and planned gigantic new buildings such as the Ministry of Propaganda or the Reich Aviation Ministry. In Wilhelmstraße, millions of murders were planned and war was waged on the whole of Europe. Gestapo and SS had their headquarters here in the Reich Security Main Office. Hitler himself had his New Reich Chancellery built nearby. At the beginning of 1945, he crawled underground in Berlin, commanded the "Battle for Berlin" from his "Führerbunker" and finally committed suicide there. We will show you what remains of the National Socialist power centers and how Berlin deals with this difficult legacy.

Notes on booking

The tour can only be booked at least 14 days in advance, as your group must be registered in advance with the German Bundestag with the surname, first name and date of birth of all participants. The dome visit is a free offer of the German Bundestag and therefore not part of our services.

If you are booking a small group, enter 1 for number of persons. In all other cases, enter the exact number of participants. If you are not sure, enter fewer people and book more later. Do not specify accompanying teachers of school classes, as they are free of charge. The number of participants can be changed up to 2 working days in advance. If there are more than 30 people, the group will be divided and another guide will be added at no extra charge. For groups of more than 40 people, ask for a non-binding price quote.

A voucher code can only be redeemed directly during the payment process. Cancellations and changes - also of the number of persons - are free of charge until 2 working days before the tour. Amounts transferred too much in advance will be refunded.
