Overview

Get familiar with the most popular street food in Germany, the Döner Kebab, on this self-guided GPS audio tour.

Take a walk through Kreuzberg, also known as little Istanbul, and learn about the life and legends of Berlin's Turkish community and the invention of the Döner Kebab. You will follow a path through eastern Kreuzberg, once walled in by the Berlin Wall on three sites, and now known as Berlins most multicultural area.

We show you where the Berlin wall divided the neighbourhood in two and where the city's most legendary Döner Kebab is sold. The tour doesn’t include a food stop, but you are free to stop at any time and savour the local delicacies whenever it suits you. Just press play when you are ready to go, stop when you get hungry and press play again to continue.
