With a local expert bringing it all to life, youâll uncover how empires rose and fell, and how the city was shaped by its past.

Youâll also check out the exteriors of the impressive Berlin Palace â now home to the Humboldt Forum â and the stunning Berlin Cathedral, two landmarks that really show off the cityâs flair for dramatic design.
