Historic tour of Berlin’s Old Town with a Visit to the Interactive DDR Museum - Half-Day Tour

Enjoy a hands-on experience of the history of the German Democratic Republic (German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik). This original tour combines a historic tour of Berlin’s Old Town with a visit to the interactive DDR Museum. Experience the nostalgia of everyday life in the former socialist East Germany!

The tour includes skip-the-line tickets for an in-depth guided tour of the DDR Museum, so you can bypass the crowds and spend more time exploring the exhibition with your Private Guide. The museum exposes the good, the bad and the ugly of living in GDR through three themed areas: “Public Life”; “State and Ideology” and “Life in a Tower Block”.

Its highlights include a recreated tower block apartment with a living room where you can change TV channels, use an original typewriter or try DDR clothes on. There are also surveillance and interrogation rooms where you can imagine what it is like to live under the constant control of the Stasi secret police. Another popular attraction is a simulated drive in an original Trabant P601 car. Your Expert Guide will explain all the objects and installations and share stories about the life of an ordinary citizen in East Germany.

Opt for the 5-hour option to visit the DDR Museum, see highlights of Berlin’s Old Town, and enjoy a private transfer by car. We will take care of every detail to organize a perfect experience from start to finish. Save time and effort with skip-the-line tickets and convenient pickup and drop-off at your Berlin accommodation.
