Potsdam in World War II & the Cold War
Bespoke private tour starting in Berlin or Potsdam
Cross the infamous “Bridge of Spies” and enter a beautiful city with a dark past
Witness the infamous “Wannsee House”, where the Nazi party made their chilling plans for the “final solution”.
Explore the Soviet “Forbidden City” in Potsdam, once home to a top-secret KGB prison.
Walk in the footsteps of Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, as you walk the halls of the Cecilienhof Palace, home of the 1945 Potsdam conference.
See where both the Nazis and the East German secret police, the Stasi, imprisoned and tortured their enemies right in Potsdam’s quaint town centre.
This experience includes an exclusive visit to the Cecilienhof Palace with a licensed guide.
Explore the last great Prussian Palace as your guide shows you Josef Stalin’s quarters, Winston Churchill’s office, and the room where Harry Truman mulled over the impact of America’s invention of the atomic bomb.
Embark on a bespoke private tour that combines big history with little-known and hard to reach sights.
