Ever wondered how a city could be divided in two? On The Cold War Tour, you’ll discover the gripping story behind Berlin’s division! In the aftermath of the Second World War, the Western Allies and the Soviet Union occupied Germany and Berlin, working together to rebuild a war-torn Europe. However, their differing visions for the future created an enduring tension that evolved into the Cold War, ultimately leading to Berlin’s split into two distinct cities.
This tour will take you deep into the history of East Berlin, the capital of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany), the infamous Stasi (East German secret police), and the realities of communism (as practised in Eastern Bloc states). We’ll cover the Berlin Wall in detail, from its construction to its fall in 1989. If you want to understand the most recent and fascinating era of Berlin’s history, full of spies and intrigue, this is the tour for you!
