About this activity
Explore the courtyards of Mitte, where the previously worn and neglected buildings were quickly restored to their former glory after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now a hub of artistic culture, consumerism and IT start-ups, these labyrinthine passages provided the breeding ground for Berlin's post-unification cultural scene.
Visit trendy Prenzlauer Berg, scene of a demographic upheaval that has seen an influx of well-heeled and upwardly mobile young families. The tour chronicles the fundamental changes that have transformed this one-time working-class district into an area favored by dynamic entrepreneurs and young fashionistas. Visit the 'Kulturbrauerei', an old brewery complex which has been totally refurbished into a center for culture and the arts. Its transformation mirrors the metamorphosis that continues in East Berlin.
Experience the exciting alternative districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg, where the traditional left-wing politics of the residents are coming under attack from new influences. You visit the East Side Gallery to discuss the origins and political message of Berlin's (in)famous street art scene. Walk over the iconic Oberbaumbrücke, which connects East and West Berlin and boasts spectacular views from both sides.
The tour ends with at one of the many weekly markets that dot the city. Enjoy fresh produce, authentic cuisine, Berlin artisans, local farmers and impromptu live music, truly a representation of city's diverse population.
