Experience Berlin's history from an unusual perspective. Berlin heaves with history and this Dark Worlds tour will take you back to World War II as you enjoy an exhibition in the Underworld Museum
Itinerary
Day 1
Hundreds of people a day walk past a green door in the Berlin subway station "Gesundbrunnen" without knowing that behind it stretch rooms heavy with history.
How uncomfortable it must have been to have been crammed inside these small rooms, with the constant whirr of the ventilation machine and the terrible thundering of the bomber aircraft over head, the atmosphere can still be sensed today.
The Berlin Dark Worlds Tour will take you back to a fascinating time in Berlin's history.
The main themes of this tour are the bombing campaign and civilian shelters, the bunker complexes as well as a selection of objects from below central Berlin, remnants from World War II. The complicated subject of the protection of wartime constructions as monuments is also discussed.
Enjoy an exhibition of the finds that the Berliner Underworld Association have retrieved during their work below ground. The Underworld Museum displays finds from the long history of subterranean Berlin, for example Berlin's late 19th Century pneumatic pipe post system, the cathedral like brewery cellars and the hundreds of kilometers of Berlin's drainage systems.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
