Discover the history of World War II and the Cold War on a comfortable full-day tour combining a guided visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp with a guided visit to Potsdam. Travel throughout the day in private transport, with no changes or transfers, making the journey easy and hassle-free.
Meet your guide next to the Neptune Fountain and enjoy a comfortable drive to your first stop: the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum. Accompanied by your guide throughout the visit, enter the former concentration camp to learn about its history and gain a deeper understanding of the scale and cruelty of the crimes committed against its prisoners. Discover how the camp was organised, how forced labour was distributed, and what daily life was like for those imprisoned there.
After the visit, continue by private bus to Potsdam, a former Slavic settlement that later became one of Prussia’s most important royal residences. Explore its magnificent palaces and gardens, where members of the royal family and their courts lived, worked, and walked. Enjoy a guided walk through the historic centre and royal surroundings, followed by some free time to explore the area at your own pace.
On the way back to Berlin, cross the Glienicke Bridge, which connects Berlin and Potsdam. Famous worldwide for its role during the Cold War, the bridge was used for several high-profile prisoner exchanges and was later featured in the film Bridge of Spies.
We will also pass by Checkpoint Bravo, one of the key border crossings between West Berlin and the surrounding territory during the division of Germany. Learn about its role during the Cold War and get a glimpse into what life was like in a divided Berlin.
Finally, return to Berlin and enjoy a panoramic tour of the city from the comfort of our private bus. Pass by some of Berlin’s most iconic landmarks, including the Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, and Holocaust Memorial, before concluding your tour with a memorable overview of the city’s complex history and vibrant culture.
