Walking Tours

Getting oriented through a walking tour is a great way to start a Berlin visit. In addition to daily city highlight tours, companies have theme tours such as Third Reich Berlin, Potsdam, and pub crawls. Berlin Walks offers a Monday "Jewish Life" tour, a Potsdam tour on Sunday, and visits to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Insider Tours has a "Red Star" Berlin tour about the Soviet-era and a bike tour as well. Brit Terry Brewer's firsthand accounts of divided and reunified Berlin are a highlight of the all-day "Brewer's Best of Berlin" tour. Tours cost from EUR 9 to EUR 15. Printable discount coupons may be available on the tour operators' Web sites; some companies grant discounts to WelcomeCard holders. Fat Tire Bike Tours rides through Berlin daily early March-November and has a Berlin Wall tour. The 4 1/2-hour city tour costs EUR 20, bike rental included.
