Following the partitioning of the city in 1961, the Berlin Wall would become Europe's most tangible symbol of the Cold War. Now History groups have the chance to see exactly how the city has recovered since the reunification and been rejuvenated over the past 30 years.
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and nearby Jewish Museum are poignant sites where the events of the Holocaust are remembered, while the Topography of Terror, DDR Museum and the former Stasi Prison in Hohenschönhausen are richly informative historical visits.
With an array of major monuments, each of which symbolises a key event in the history of Berlin, from the famous Reichstag building to the former border crossing point known as ‘the Palace of Tears’, there is an abundance of informative and engaging educational sites in the city.
