Overview
East Berlin doesn’t just have history, it is history. From the scars of World War II to the fall of the Berlin Wall, this once divided, grey corner of the city has transformed into one of Europe’s most diverse, vibrant, and culturally rich neighborhoods.
On this private 3-hour walking tour, you’ll taste your way through that transformation. Meet the international communities who’ve made East Berlin their own: a Syrian family running a supper club, Vietnamese fusion at a street stall, the legendary currywurst eaten the way locals do. Every stop has a story, and your expert guide will bring it to life for just your group. Set your own pace, ask as many questions as you like, and skip the crowded coach tour for an experience that’s entirely yours.
Berlin is also one of Europe’s most celebrated vegan cities, and East Berlin is at the heart of it. Vegan guests are warmly welcomed; just add a dietary note at booking, and we’ll take care of the rest.

What to expect
30m
Start your tour with a typical Berlin-style Döner Kebab - a dish that’s eaten over 400,000 times every day in Berlin, paired with a Club Mate Drink.
30m
At a welcoming Syrian-Levantine restaurant, you’ll savor metabal and Mezze, a dip made from smoked aubergine, tahini, garlic, and lemon, with a homebrewed beer, while your guide shares stories of Berlin’s recent immigrants, their integration, and how they’ve shaped local life.
Pass by
Pass by one of the last remaining Berlin Squat Houses that has hosted political and educational events and activities, alongside live concerts, for nearly a decade.
30m
Step into a trendy, neon-lit Vietnamese street food spot where you’ll try the flavorful TyTy Taco, filled with marinated chicken, pickled red onions, and sweetcorn.
Pass by
This vibrant alternative complex was once an imperial rail yard, Soviet factory, and Deutsche Bahn warehouse. Today, it buzzes with art galleries, indie labels, nightclubs, beer gardens, a bouldering hall, and Berlin’s largest indoor skate park.
10m
Visit Berlin’s most famous currywurst spot to taste the city’s iconic street food, served mit Darm (with casing), while hearing the story of how currywurst was invented and became a local legend.
5m
Stop by a Turkish nuts and sweets shop to pick up your dessert: a bag of freshly mixed caramelised nuts, the perfect sweet-and-crunchy treat to enjoy as you end the tour.
East Side Gallery
Pass by
This historic open-air art gallery centers around the longest surviving stretch of the Berlin Wall. Standing at just over 1.3 miles from end to end, each individual segment is coated in a colorful and often politically-themed mural that has been in place for over twenty years.
