Things to Do in Berlin: GDR and Cold War Edition

Things to Do in Berlin: GDR and Cold War Edition

For roughly 45 years, Germany was split in two. And nowhere was this division felt more than here in Berlin.

So, in this video, I’m going to show you many of the landmarks, museums, and memorials that tell the stories of this separation.

Most visitors focus on just a few famous attractions, seemingly unaware of the breadth of the options available to those looking for a deeper dive. And I bet that I’ll mention a few you weren’t already aware of.
