75 years after the outbreak of hostilities, World War II still plays a big part in the tourism experiences to be found in Berlin.  And if you're planning to learn more about the wartime story of the German capital a Berlin Pass can help you save money and time.

From €74 for an adult two-day pass, Berlin Pass customers will gain entry at exhibitions and museums unique to Berlin, including the Historiale Berlin Museum, the Anne Frank Centre and the Jewish Museum Berlin.  All help to reveal WWII history through one-of-a-kind original artefacts, state-of-the-art exhibitions, or interactive installations. 

A sightseeing city tour, free to Berlin Pass customers, takes in important sites such as the Alexanderplatz and the Brandenburg Gate, both of which were heavily damaged by Allied bombing, and later rebuilt. The pass also includes participation in fascinating guided walking tours which explore the city's wartime story in depth, as well as free entry to over 50 top museums, sights and landmarks, including the grandiose Pergamon art museum, the Berliner Dom (cathedral), the Checkpoint Charlie Museum and the historic Bode Museum.

Key sites for those looking to explore Berlin's wartime story include:
