Sightseeing/City Tour Archaeological/Cultural Jewish Heritage

Overview

You will be met by your driver who will take you through the countryside of Germany and bring you to Berlin, where you'll meet your personal guide.
Your guide will be a real character of the city, someone who studied history or architecture has years of experience in guiding, and is eager to show you his hometown in a vivid and in-depth conversation.

If there is something specific you would like to see or a part of history you are keen to learn more about, please let us know beforehand or tell your guide upon your arrival. Your guide will organize the lunch break according to your wishes, please let him know when you arrive – also if you wish kosher lunch.

This tour will include well-known places of interest on Jewish life and history in the eastern and western parts of the city, as well as lesser-known, hidden sights.
The day's itinerary will be determined by your interests, museum hours, and events of the day.

Tour Berlin's oldest epicenter of the Berlin Jewish life, where you will learn about Berlin’s vibrant Jewish history from the cemetery with Moses Mendelssohn's grave to the life of the first female Rabbi in the world.
Walk through the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, which opened in 2005.
This somber spot occupies a space the size of a football field and its information center brings this tragic period in history to life, revealing fates of individuals and entire families.
The Memorial was designed by New York architect Peter Eisenman.
Its location is in the city center, right next to the Brandenburg Gate.

Take in the former main Berlin Synagogue, built between 1859 and 1866 in an interesting hodge-podge of styles.
The synagogue’s faintly Middle Eastern appearance is accentuated by its bulbous, gilded cupola.
With a seating capacity of 3,200, this was the largest synagogue in Europe at the time of its opening.
The building was badly damaged during WWII and was partly restored 40 years later.
An exhibit documents the history of the building and its congregation.

A visit to the Jewish Museum will take you through the history of Germany’s Jews over the last 2,000 years, with an emphasis on contributions to culture, art, science, and other fields.
All is chronicled here.
The building itself, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, is an exciting, imaginative example of 20th-century architecture. (The visit to the Jewish Museum requires about 1.5 hours).
Visit the site of the Nazi Secret State Police and notorious Gestapo headquarters, now an open-air exhibit called "Topography of Terror."
