About this experience

Explore Berlin’s Old Jewish Quarter on a guided walking tour that highlights historical sites, memorials, and Stolpersteine. You will see the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and have the option to visit the New Synagogue and Jewish Cemetery. This tour offers three options: a 3-hour Jewish Quarter Tour focusing on key sites such as the New Synagogue (exterior only) and Hackesche Höfe; a 4-hour option that includes the same sites with the addition of the New Synagogue; and a 5-hour tour that incorporates visits to the Jewish Cemetery alongside the other locations. The tour is suitable for those interested in Jewish history and memorialization in Berlin. It may not be ideal for those seeking a less educational or more casual experience.
