The tour orientation follows the course of the River Spree between the Brandenburg Gate and Berlin’s historic core. Enjoy the sights which are lined up like pearls on a string along the riverside.

Except of the German Chancellery and Reichstag building the attractions you’ll see like Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island and Unter den Linden among others are located in the former East Berlin.
