Experience Overview:
Private New Centre And Government District Tour Of BerlinA unique situation arose after the fall of the Wall in Berlin: in the middle of an existing city, huge open spaces were created on the former death strip.
Well-known architects from all over the world applied to help build what is now called the New Center. Explore with us the new government district at the Spreebogen, the resurrected Pariser Platz in front of the Brandenburg Gate and Potsdamer Platz.
We start our tour at the new main station and then cross the Spree. Where the old diplomatic district once stood, a green meadow now offers an unobstructed view of the new government district with the Chancellery, Paul Löbe House and the Parliament Library.
Let the architecture and function of the buildings be brought closer to you. Of course we also find many media institutions, including the ARD capital studio, close to power. We tell you the eventful history of the Reichstag, which is now the seat of the German Bundestag.
The Brandenburg Gate is just a stone's throw away. Formerly located in the death strip between East and West Berlin and inaccessible to anyone, today it is one of the main attractions of the city and a symbol of reunification.
We walk through it and admire the newly built Pariser Platz with the French and American embassies, the Hotel Adlon and the Academy of Arts. The path leads us via the Holocaust memorial to Potsdamer Platz, formerly the largest construction site in Europe.
A new city center has emerged here, where the busiest square in Europe was already at the beginning of the 20th century. The reconstruction of Germany's first electric traffic light is a reminder of this.
