What to expect

  1. Kreuzberg
    3h
    Once a 19th-century worker’s district and former part of West Berlin, Kreuzberg has reshaped itself through immigrants, capitalists, anarchists, artists, WWII bombs, and Cold War suppression. Today, the neighborhood is a buzzing hub of counterculture, cafes, art, bars, and a salad bowl of immigrants providing diverse cuisine options and market goods. This 3-hour Kreuzberg tour highlights the neighborhood’s authentic identity, as it continues to push back against gentrification and development.
  2. Memorial of the Berlin Wall
    25m
    Ponder what remains of the Berlin Wall before continuing past street art-filled walls, abandoned buildings, and plots of land that have been creatively transformed into art hubs.
  3. SO36
    35m
    Orianienstrasse is one of the most famous streets of Berlin district in Kreuzberg, full of lively, eclectic boutiques and cafes. It is named after the Dutch Princely House of Orange. The street is also famous for historic street battles at the turn-of-century between Berlin's anarchists and police.
  4. Viktoriapark
    20m
    Discover the idyllic Viktoriapark (one of Berlin’s most popular green spaces).
  5. Oberbaumbrucke
