Protest is at the heart of Berlin. Uprisings and demonstrations have defined the character and spirit of the city throughout its 800 years. A public square that is on the must-see list of every tourist visiting Berlin, Alexanderplatz today is a prime display of socialist architecture. But hidden behind the impressive concrete landmarks is the entire history of Berlin. On this walking tour, we will take an alternative look at Berlin´s busiest square and seek out the traces of some of the most momentous protests in its history as well as lesser-known acts of civil courage. From rebellious beginnings to the peak of Nazi terror, Alexanderplatz and its surroundings have borne witness to it all.
Language: The tour is in English.
Meeting point: Outside U-Bahn Station Rotes Rathaus opposite Red Town Hall
Discounted prices are for: children of school age, students, guests over the age of 65 and unemployed persons.
The tour is wheelchair-accessible.
