Stroll through royal gardens to see where Truman, Churchill, and Stalin met to decide the fate of Germany, Europe, and the world

 

On this private tour uncover the history of the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” as you visit the infamous House of the Wannsee Conference on the very edge of Berlin. Cross the “Bridge of Spies” and stand where agents were swapped between the Soviets and the US during the Cold War. Follow the path of the Berlin Wall through Prussian royal gardens to the Cecilienhof palace: home to the infamous Potsdam Conference at the end of World War Two.

Once locked behind the Iron Curtain in East Germany, Potsdam’s stunning UNESCO World Heritage parks and palaces are home to earth-shattering history. See where the “Big Three”, Truman, Churchill and Stalin, met to discuss the fate of Germany, Europe, and the world after World War Two, and learn how the stage was set for the next several decades of history.
