Overview

Discover Berlin's grandest boulevard, Tom Cruise's favourite sausage stand, Museum Island, the Reichstag, and the Jewish Memorial at your own pace with a self-guided GPS audio tour. Explore parts of the city you'd only heard of in the movies and history books with three audio tours by best-selling author Rory MacLean (Berlin: Imagine a City, Stalin's Nose, and Pravda Ha Ha).

Rory has known three Berlins: West Berlin where he made movies with David Bowie and Marlene Dietrich, East Berlin where he researched his first bestseller, and now the unified capital. Dive into his Berlin when you buy all three of his tours for the price of two!

The three routes include a tour of Kurfürstendamm - the capital's grandest boulevard; a tour of Museum Island; and a tour of Berlin's often tumultuous and endlessly fascinating history which unfolds in the city centre. All of which you can explore on your own schedule and at your own pace.

Altes Museum

The Altes Museum – which was opened in 1830 – was one of the first purpose-built museums in Europe. It was created to house the royal collection of sculptures, paintings and antiques and was conceived to be pedagogic, exhibiting art both to educate and to aggrandise the nation.

Neues Museum

Its history of the museum is fascinating. Friedrich August Stüler’s neoclassical building was erected in 1847. During the Second World War, it was badly damaged. After the reunification, the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation – along with other government bodies – chose not to simply restore the museum to its pre-war state. Instead, they decided to preserve its strange chronology – to quote Chipperfield – by linking together original material, war-and weather-damaged sections as well as modern elements. The result is a museum that can be read like a history book. The fabric of the building tells the story of Berlin.

• Admission Ticket Free

Bode Museum

You pass by the museum and at the end of A Walk through Time on Museum Island tour you have the opportunity to visit the museum.

• Admission Ticket Free

Reichstag Building

The Into the Heart of Berlin tour starts with a great view of the Reichstag from here. It's far from the oldest building in Berlin but it is one of the two or three structures that best evoke the city's torturous, and sometimes euphoric, history.

• Admission Ticket Free

Brandenburg Gate

You'll pass by the Brandenburg Gate and hear what it was like when Communist East Germany finally collapsed in 1989.

• Admission Ticket Free

The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

Pass through the Jewish memorial and allow yourself to take in the 2,711 concrete stelae. Try to reflect on how architect Peter Eisenman positioned the outer slabs. They're low against the ground so that they seem to fan out into the whole city.
