Our next stop will be at the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, a moving place that pays tribute to the victims of the tragedy.

The free tour of Berlin was an incredible experience. Our guide Alberto had a deep knowledge of the history of the city and knew how to convey it with passion and clarity. We toured the most emblematic places, from the Brandenburg Gate to the Berlin Wall, with detailed explanations that helped to understand the past and present of the city. In addition, the tour was very well organized and balanced between history, curious facts and recommendations. Undoubtedly, an excellent option to get to know Berlin with context and depth, highly recommended!
