La Coupole , located 5 km from Saint-Omer (Nord-Pas-de-Calais), is one of the most impressive remnants of the Second World War in Europe. It is a symbolic place of the Nazi oppression, due to its overwhelming mass, the nature of its underground facilities and the suffering of the slave labourers who built it.
This huge bunker, built by the Todt Organisation in 1943-1944 had to be the base for launching the V2 rockets against London. Developed in the ultra-secret Peenemünde centre by Von Braun's team, these missiles, along with the American atomic bomb, were the most innovative devices developed during World War II. The V2s were mass-produced by deportees from the Dora concentration camp in the underground factory "Mittelwerk", located at the heart of Germany.
Heavily bombed by the Allies, La Coupole was abandoned during the summer of 1944, after the Normandy landings. The V2s, which struck London and Antwerp in September 1944, were launched by mobile units established in Holland.
Since 1997, this place, which has been turned into a History and Memory Centre, a world war II museum, has welcomed more than 2 million visitors.

Berlin Underground Tours – Secret City War Bunkers and Escape Tunnels

Berlin underground tours are an alternative way to understand the city’s complex history, where you can view war bunkers and escape tunnels in what are now disused metro stations.
With Berlin known for its alternative scene and unravelling of a dark past, this is a different way of seeing it.
When researching my trip there I came across the Berlin Underworlds Association (Berliner Unterwelten) – a society for the exploration and documentation of subterranean culture. They provide expert tours of the city’s underground linked to various moments of its history, citing to “experience the history of Berlin from an unconventional perspective.”
The Berlin Underworlds Association has been offering Berlin tunnel tours for around 15 years, so they know exactly what they are doing when it comes to the important underground structures in the city. You won’t get stuck or lost, or be breaking any laws when it comes to the exploration of abandoned areas. This has all been curated and set up exclusively.

Where Does the Berlin Underground Tour Begin?
When do the underground tours run, underground tours prices, escaping via the sewage system, escaping via the east berlin u-bahn underground stations, from underground to overground , berlin underground bunker tours, virtual tours of underground berlin, beneath berlin – understanding history , what berlin underground tours can you go on.
From war bunkers and air-raid shelters to the remains of an anti-aircraft fortress, subterranean Berlin plays host to a wealth of history. You might find it hard to choose which tour to go on, although a lot of your choice will be dependent on what tours are running on the given day.
There are currently four underground Berlin tours available:
- Tour 1: Dark Worlds
- Tour 2: From Flak Towers to Mountains of Debris
- Tour 3: Cold War Nuclear Bunkers
- Tour M: Under the Berlin Wall
I decided on Tour M, which at the time was called Breaching the Berlin Wall: Subterranean Escapes from East Berlin to West Berlin and which this article focuses on, with an overview of the main things you get to learn about and what an underground tour encompasses generally.
Photography is not allowed, which is why I am using images granted for use by the Berliner Unterwelten.
The majority of the tours start in or near the Gesundbrunnen station in the north of Berlin city centre and they last approximately two hours.
The main season for tours is April – October and they run from Monday – Friday between 10 AM – 4 PM and on Saturday, Sunday and National Holidays between 9 AM and 4 PM.
You can check the website for further details and view the calendar of dates and times on the homepage .
Surprisingly, the tours to this secret part of Berlin are relatively inexpensive.
– Tour 1, 2 and 3 are €15
– Tour M is €18
– The Exhibition, “Myth of Germania” is €6
Do note: The BerlinWelcomeCard is not valid for the tours but for the exhibition “Myth of Germania”.
The Berlin Wall Escape Tunnels
Many attempts were made to escape from East Berlin to the West via man-made tunnels dug deep underground, where everything from reinforcements to lighting and ventilation had to be taken into consideration.
The first tunnel was dug in December 1961 and the last one in 1985, four years before the borders were opened. Of course, some attempts had devastating consequences, when uncovered by the East German secret police (Stasi), but others were successful. The determination resulting in the same people risking their lives to dig another tunnel in a different location months later to help others.
The sewer channels were also used as escape routes, even though the Stasi had put preventative measures in place with grating systems. Initially, the grating was a square shape within the circle of the tunnel meaning there was just enough space to squeeze under – through the sewage.
The Stasi later installed oval-shaped grating and then used measures to cover the space completely. Many West Berlin students had great escape operations in place using the sewage systems to help their friends trapped in the East.
However, when escaping this way, someone had to be the ‘lid man’ with the promise of being able to go down into the hole another time. In the room underground was a manhole cover, the same as the ones you see in the city today and what would have been in use back then. The lights were turned out as if to create the atmosphere of nighttime escape and two strong guys were asked to carefully and quietly lift the heavy lid.
No problem at all, but putting it back? A disastrous mixture of the wrong balance, uneven weight and constant clanging noise. Back then, they would have been caught instantly and killed. It puts into perspective how difficult these escapes were with the Stasi on the lookout right around every corner.
With the construction of the Wall, U-Bahn lines in East Berlin were severed in their connection to the West. But as the East got poorer the two West Berlin lines (the U6 and U8) that ran through East Berlin were ‘rented out’ to the West, allowing them to pass through the East Berlin metro stations without stopping.
We were told about how people cleverly hid among the tracks and side walls ready to jump on passing trains and how the guards on the Eastern side would defect and while on duty, use this route as a means to escape.
When the Stasi lost too many men they eventually locked guards on duty in a room with a small window looking out towards the tracks. Any signs of escapees would have to be called through to a superior, by which point it was probably too late to catch them.
One of the most fascinating parts of the tour was wandering along a huge underground corridor only to emerge from a side door on the wall of the underground station, which most people probably walk past daily and don’t give a second’s thought as to what lays beneath.
From there you are taken via the metro to my much recommended Berlin Wall viewing site, Bernauer Strasse, where more than seven escape tunnels were attempted within a short distance of just 350 meters of each other. This is also where two of the most successful Berlin Wall escape tunnels were constructed.
READ MORE: Best Place to See the Berlin Wall – the viewing locations and the questions it makes you ask.
Rectangular panels on pavement and in the grass show the route of an escape tunnel in Berlin.
Photo exhibitions form much of the tour when underground in what is a former civil defence shelter and it brings the stories to life. You will catch a glimpse at a room that formed part of an air-raid shelter on the Berlin tunnels tour, although you will have to take the underground bunker tour (Tour 3) to delve more into that part of the history and see what relics of these hideouts are left.
Thousands were built in the city to provide safety and despite being able to see one, it’s still unknown how many more exist that have yet to be found.
For those who don’t have the time for the tour or who want to see a reconstruction of what the bunkers that no longer exist look like, the Berlin Underworlds Association run virtual guided tours . You can learn more about the Drivers’ Bunker, the Speer Bunker, the Goebbels Bunker and the Führerbunker, supported by historical overviews, construction plans and interviews with historians and witnesses.
The cost for the virtual tours is €9.50 and lasts approximately one hour.
What lies beneath Berlin is well worth viewing. We take riding a metro system for granted without realising how instrumental it was for those planning escape, those seeking shelter and those harbouring secrets.
The guide was both passionate and knowledgeable about the history and expertly clued up on the facts, figures and questions presented by the city’s complex history. To condense Berlin’s history into sizable parts that you can understand is commendable. I even met locals who had said they had wanted to take this tour for the past 10 years to better understand their past.
Not only do you get to grips with the city’s history, but you get to learn about it from a truly interesting perspective and to understand a complex time in modern history in that way is priceless.
Many thanks to the Berlin Underworlds Association for allowing me the opportunity to attend one of their tours.

I just did the underground tour last week, it was pretty cool! I also recommend that you check out the abandoned brewery near Schöneweide station (which you have to sneak in), and also the Stasi museum.

A Secret Underground City: Tour The World’s Largest Prepper Community
Posted: March 24, 2024 | Last updated: March 24, 2024
This man is building a survivalist city the size of Manhattan
While countries around the world continue to grapple with volatile wars, the threat of nuclear disaster and the prospect of future pandemics, there’s one secretive community nestled in the wilds of the American Midwest that has been planning for global disaster long before COVID struck.
The size of a small city, click or scroll on to delve inside this sprawling doomsday refuge, designed to shelter 5,000 people should the worst occur – and meet the man behind it all...
South Dakota's best-kept secret
Hidden away from the world in South Dakota's remote Black Hills, Vivos xPoint is the self-proclaimed largest survival community in the world.
From the sky, the site looks like little more than a vast expanse of undulating land. In reality, however, each small hill is home to an underground bunker, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Military heyday
The compound's history dates back to 1942, just after the United States entered the Second World War. Fort Igloo was established as the US Army's Black Hills Ordnance Depot, named after the hundreds of reinforced concrete domes built to store weapons and ammunition.
Once bustling with workers and their families, the military base was eventually closed in 1967 and the site abandoned.
Disaster-proof real estate
Around 2016, real estate mogul Robert Vicino bought up the land from a local cattle rancher, having founded Vivos, a global underground network of apocalypse shelters, back in 2008.
With its expanse of blast-proof concrete bunkers, the vast compound was the perfect fit for his plans to create a sprawling survivalist community.
Building for the end of the world
Vicino has been building shelters for a decade. He built his first bunker community back in 2012 and now sees it as his life's calling.
"I don't want to build anything. I have to. There are thousands of people who believe we are living in very dangerous times. There's going to be an extinction-level event," he explained to Netflix when they visited the site back in 2018.
"My mission is to build as many shelters for as many people as possible, in time, before the end of the world."
Secure location
Vivos xPoint is ideally located to help Vicino fulfill his mission. Situated in one of the safest areas in North America, it's at least 100 miles away from the nearest known military nuclear targets.
Perched at an altitude of 3,800 feet, the site is at a distance from any large bodies of water and enjoys relatively mild weather, minimizing the likelihood of freak weather events.
Closely guarded compound
Almost the size of Manhattan, Vivos xPoint encompasses 18 square miles of secure land, with 575 bunkers arranged along 100 miles of private roads.
Built like a fortress, the fenced compound has just one road in and out, allowing the 24/7 onsite security team, comprising military-trained guards, to identify anyone approaching the property from up to three miles away.
An insurance policy
In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, Vivos says demand for its bunkers grew exponentially, with inquiries and applications up over 1,000% year on year, while annual sales increased by 400%.
The company refers to its underground hideouts as a "backup plan for mankind", an insurance policy of sorts should a global catastrophe strike.
Making the cut
However, securing your own bunker in Vivos xPoint isn't quite as simple as purchasing a unit.
Prospective applicants have to first apply for membership, detailing skills and areas of expertise that may come in handy should the end of the world roll around. After careful vetting, the best candidates are selected from the membership pool and invited to join the community.
Virtually indestructible
If your application is successful, you'll be able to purchase one of the compound's private concrete shelters. Built by the army to withstand a 500,000-pound internal blast, these tough hideouts are as resilient as they come.
The semi-subterranean structures feature a large bulkhead wall and a steel blast door that seals to prevent water, air or gas from entering, while thick berms of earth covering the domed roof add extra protection.
The price of protection
According to the Vivos website, you can purchase a private bunker for an upfront payment of $55,000, plus an ongoing annual ground rent of $1,000 per shelter.
The units are sold as shells without furnishings or equipment. Full outfitting is available for an extra cost, which the company says can be as much as $75,000, depending on the finish. However, Vivos' show bunker illustrates what can be achieved…
Behind the blast doors...
Robert Vicino gave Netflix viewers a glimpse behind the blast doors of the company's prototype on the TV series Amazing Interiors back in 2018. The show documented the outfitting of the unit, which is designed to demonstrate the potential of these wartime relics to prospective buyers.
Abandoned since the 1960s, the reinforced bunker required a major overhaul to transform it into a comfortable space for modern living. As well as configuring the interior floor plan and fixtures, there was also the matter of installing what Vicino calls the "mechanical life safety systems" to deal with any catastrophic future events.
Stylish subterranean retreat
Inside, the finished product is astonishing. Encompassing around 2,200 square feet of floor space, Vivos says that each bunker has the capacity to accommodate 10 to 24 people along with their supplies for a year or more, without the need to venture outside.
And what's more, you'll be far from slumming it. The outfitted model offers a spacious, open floor plan with wood-effect floors and zoned living areas.
Flexible living space
Distinctive spaces for cooking, dining and relaxing create a functional, family-friendly layout, while living areas and storage can be extended even further with the addition of an attic level.
This prototype design has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, but ultimately, buyers get free rein to create a hideout home that works for them.
Functional fixtures
The compact kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm, from a full-sized fridge and oven to a snug breakfast bar.
Rather than merely catering to the super-rich like some survival shelter companies, Vivos says its members are "well-educated, average people with a keen awareness of the current global events."
Going off-grid
Running completely off the grid, the bunkers are designed to be hooked up to solar arrays and wind turbines, generating their own power source that won't be affected if a national blackout occurs.
Water is drawn from two underground wells and stored in reinforced concrete water tanks, while a water distribution system services each individual bunker.
A secure sanctuary
As well as cozy sitting areas and no shortage of space to socialize, the bunkers also have a series of measures in place to limit the spread of harmful germs or gases.
Vivos explains: "All of our shelters have air scrubbers to eliminate all pathogens and radioactive particles before entering the underground space."
Plenty of privacy
A stark contrast to the fallout shelters constructed in basements and backyards during the Cold War, where a whole family would often hole up in a single fortified room, Vivos xPoint's underground hideouts can accommodate plenty of private bedrooms.
There's enough floor space for a generous master like this, plus the usual wardrobes and furnishings you'd expect at home.
Space for the whole family
You can even add bunk rooms to your shelter's design, perfect for younger members of the family – there'd be no arguing over sleeping arrangements here.
According to the company, the shelters can withstand everything from a surface blast wave to radioactive fallout, so the compound's residents can sleep easy at night.
Creature comforts
In the event of global disaster, locking down doesn't have to mean sacrificing life's little luxuries.
The Vivos show bunker features a full-sized bathroom, complete with a composting toilet, bathtub and overhead shower, so there's no need to go without a long, indulgent soak in the tub.
The lap of luxury
For survivalists with a taste for the finer things in life, the sky's the limit when it comes to customization.
Pictured here, Vivos' deluxe floor plan offers an idea of the luxe bunker setup you could create – if you can foot the bill that is. The perfect billionaire bolthole, this extravagant design even comes with a home cinema.
Plush accommodation
This interior render reveals a whole host of indulgent extras, from a pool table and bar to LED windows that simulate scenic views of the outside world. We wouldn't mind being locked down here if the end of the world rolled around!
Opulent sleeping quarters
The master bedroom is equally as extravagant, with polished wood floors, dramatic feature walls and atmospheric spotlights – more akin to a luxury suite in an upmarket hotel than a doomsday shelter.
While pricing isn't available for this deluxe design, we have a feeling it might include more than a few zeros...
A market for the prepper mentality
There's evidently an appetite for modern survival shelters. Here, Robert Vicino shows prospective buyers, Megan and Michael, around the show bunker.
Megan explains why they're so motivated to invest in a fortified hideout: "If anything were to happen, if it would be a disaster or a war... just to be able to have that peace of mind that we have a place that we can go to, that you have food, you have clothes, you have everything you need there. It's reassuring really."
Meanwhile, when the pandemic struck back in 2020, Vivos saw an uptick in snap investments in the company's apocalypse-proof real estate, while some of its members even hunkered down in their bunkers.
A potential plan B?
Vivos has plans to add more amenities to the South Dakota site in the future, including a hot tub, spa and theater for members to enjoy when it's safe to resurface.
Ultimately though, the company sees its underground communities as humanity's last chance.
"What it's about is the next generation. Providing them an opportunity to survive, to come out of the bunker someday, to look around and say, wow, we have another chance," says Vicino.

Underground Vienna - an unforgettable experience
You love the kick and are looking for adventure? Experience pure thrills in narrow shafts, damp cellars and dirty holes in Vienna's underworld. On this 2-hour discovery you will experience Vienna in a different way - from its dark, hidden and mysterious side. But beware: This is an experience with a scary factor! Vienna's underworld is not for the faint-hearted.
Guided tour Vienna Underground - a city under the city
The tour of Vienna's underground changes your view of the city. We'll show you Vienna in a different way - this time in the first district. Downtown Vienna is famous for its pomp and shine, but that's only half the story. Underneath the city, another gloomy world awaits, to which you have now exclusive access. We show you the hidden Vienna - the beautiful and ugly sides of the Viennese underground.
Viennese Undergroundd - the history of forgotten Vienna
The parallel world developed in the 19th century. While upper bourgeois and aristocrats lived in luxury and decadence, the lower class was pushed down into Vienna's underground. Those who couldn't afford to live in the lap of luxury had to move - into the sewers! After all, where else should you go if you don't have a permanent home?
Vienna's underground became a haven for beggars, the homeless and the impoverished. The underground world still tells many stories about what used to be here.
On our discovery you not only get deep insights into the underground of the city away from the well-known splendor, but also learn more about the forgotten Vienna. This world stays normally hidden. But this experience is unusual and reveals long-forgotten secrets.
Underground Vienna - choose between the following options
The 2-hour tour is for all those who want to gain a comprehensive insight into the history of the origins and the various uses of the Viennese underground. You will visit three private and historic cellars in the heart of Vienna.
During the 1-hour tour you will experience the highlights of the Viennese underground in one private cellar . Learn interesting anecdotes and discover a forgotten, former air raid shelter in the heart of Vienna. This tour is suitable for everyone if you just need a quick sneak peek.
- Minimum age: 10 years accompanied by an adult
- No claustrophobia & healthy physical condition
- This experience is not barrier-free
- Sturdy shoes & clothing
- Attention: Risk of tripping and injury due to partly uneven terrain
- Limited visibility due to poor lighting in the cellars (if necessary, bring your own flashlight)
- Please also note our terms and conditions. (Participate at your own risk)
No. The tour is only suitable for people without disabilities due to the prevailing circumstances.
No. The tour takes place on two legs only. ;) We recommend to wear appropriate clothes (sturdy shoes).
During the 2-hour tour you will walk around 15 minutes above ground from one cellar to the next. The rest of the time you are inside the cellars. Since the connecting passages were closed after the Second World War, it is not possible to stay underground in the 1st district the entire time. During the 1-hour tour you are actually the whole time underground (except for the introduction).
Very exciting tour with a great guide who had in-depth knowledge and left no questions unanswered. It was great fun and shows the city from a completely different perspective. I definitely see the city with different eyes now.
Very interesting tour, another side of Vienna, casual and easygoing!
The tour is very interesting, exciting and really different. If you don't want to do the 08/15 tours, you've come to the right place. A nice tour guide who obviously enjoys the topic completes the whole thing.
Hello everyone reading this. I did the "Vienna Underworld" tour today 👍🏻 I can only recommend it to everyone, I'm almost sure I'll do it again, it was just very interesting and very informative, too much to remember everything. A flashlight 🔦 can't hurt to take with you. There is light everywhere except in a basement.
Mfg. Andreas
A great, very exciting and instructive tour.
Super fun, informative, totally engaging and exciting tour. I can only recommend it, it's really worth every cent.
A very educational, interesting and new way to get to know the center of Vienna.

3D Bunkers.com is the first in the world to introduce the idea of using 3d concrete printing technology as a new way to build underground bunkers.
This new 3D technology has made it affordable and practical for families and loved ones to be able to protect themselves from the increasing threats of a world catastrophe from a solar flare, wars, viruses, or civil unrest.
With traditional bunkers, EVERYONE in your neighborhood can see your “secret” bunker being lifted into your backyard by a huge crane. 3D Concrete Bunkers are printed in your backyard in a deep excavated hole covered by a large tent that makes the bunker completely undetected. The tent is placed over the printer to give added privacy and to keep a controlled environment to fully cure the polymer concrete.
