The historic Airport Tempelhof was built in 1923 and has tours held through the year. The Airport got recognition during 1949's airlift making this a freedom symbol. The visitors center and the tour start point begins at the GAT (General Aviation Terminal) area. The former GAT area was a terminal used for arrivals and departures, but now is used as an access point for the museum, the old halls of the building and the touring guides.
