At the height of the Cold War in 1961, socialist East Germany erected the Berlin Wall as an imposing concrete barrier that divided Berlin's eastern and western sides for nearly 30 years. In 1989, toward the end of the war and the fall of East Germany and communism in Europe, the wall's demolition began, thus reunifying Germany. Today, sections of the wall remain as permanent reminders of the days when the country (and Berlin) was divided.

What are people saying about Berlin Wall

Enlightening and Eye Opening.
My guide was excellent, he knew his history around the Berlin Wall. The biggest eyeopener was Death Street, the area between the Border Wall and the Inner Wall. That aspect I was unfamiliar with prior to the tour.

Excellent and thought provoking tour
Fantastic tour with our guide Pip. We covered so much history and so many sites. The commentary was always interesting but I loved the way we were given space to think and interpret for ourselves. We were still discussing things hours after the tour. Highly recommended.
