Walking Tours
Several English-language walking-tour companies run introductory spins that take in both
blockbuster and offbeat sights, plus themed tours (eg Third Reich, Cold War, Sachsen-
hausen, Potsdam). Tours don't require reservations - just show up at one of the meeting
points. Since these change quite frequently, keep an eye out for flyers in hotel or hostel lob-
bies or at tourist offices; alternatively, contact the companies directly.
