Discover Berlin’s raw, creative soul on this intimate walking tour through Kreuzberg and
Friedrichshain. A fresh mix of street art, subculture, history and hidden local gems.
Get off the beaten path and discover the true spirit of Berlin on this two-hour walking tour through Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. Designed for curious travelers who want more than just monuments and museums, this tour blends Berlin’s rebellious history with its vibrant street art, local hangouts, and underground culture.
We start at Rio-Reiser-Platz, in the heart of Kreuzberg, and ease into Berlin’s complex past, but don’t worry, this isn’t a dry history lecture. You’ll learn the why behind the Wall, hear personal stories and cultural context, and see how history lives on in the city’s alternative scenes today.
Along the way, we’ll explore some of Berlin’s most iconic street art (including ROA and the Space Crusader), stroll down the colorful Oranienstraße, pass indie cafés and bars, and uncover stories from the city’s squatter movement. We’ll stop at creative spaces like Holzmarkt, where we can have a drink and a snack, and wrap up at the world-famous East Side Gallery, where art meets the memory of division.
This is not your average walking tour. It’s more like discovering Berlin with a friend who knows all the cool spots and hidden layers – relaxed, authentic, and engaging. With a maximum of 8 guests, this small-group format allows us to blend in with the city, move at a casual pace, and dive into real conversations. Expect good vibes, surprising insights, and a taste of Berlin beyond the obvious.
