Description:

Delve into one of the darkest times in Berlin's history, the Cold War. Trace the path of the former Berlin Wall on a Segway and see examples of artwork that showcase the ideals of Communist East. Along the way, learn from your guide the differences between lives on each side of the Wall.

Start your tour with a safety briefing and a short lesson on Segway riding techniques. Then head out and glide past the physical remains of the former division between East and West Berlin. Explore the East Side Gallery, the largest remaining section of the Berlin Wall and learn about its significance as a dynamic artist space.

Stop at the Cafe Moskau, once a meeting place for communist party officials, now a trendy exhibition space and a classic example of communist-era architecture. At the Spree riverfront, where the river meets the Wall, your knowledgeable guide gives you insight into life in the former East, telling stories about escape attempts and pointing out the political impact the division still has on Berlin. See how the former no man's land at Engelbecken is transformed today into a public space before making your way back to Alexanderplatz.
