Meeting and Pickup

  1. 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. 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. 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. Discover the idyllic Viktoriapark (one of Berlin’s most popular green spaces).

  5. Start off at the Oberbaumbruecke, Berlin’s most beautiful bridge, passing the main landmarks of SO36, the eastern half of the district named after its former postcode
