West Berlin Tour
West Berlin’s rich history is full of glamour and decadence. At a mere 150 years old this half of the metropolis is packed full of history, architecture and characters that bring to life several distinct sides of the city: the affluent suburbs, the West Berlin’s Cold War isolation, the excitement of Potsdamer Platz, and the infamous nightlife of the Golden Twenties forever captured by Christopher Isherwood’s novels and later made into the hit film Cabaret. Today West Berlin is all these things and much more – the many faces of the West are presented and explained on this 3 hour tour.
