About

1/4

Big beautiful churches, nice Baroque palaces, grand theatre buildings, and many other places… that you will NOT see on this tour! 😉 Why? Because Berlin is way more than that. Berlin is a European capital of alternative lifestyle and street art! So on this tour, you will explore very different aspects of the German capital. You will be taken to various corners and nooks where most tourist never go.

After this 3-hour tour, you will discover a new city of Berlin. You will know why it is called a “cultural melting pot”. You will learn about the impact of Berlin’s music scene. Furthermore, you will be able to decipher some hidden messages of different graffiti and murals around the city. You will witness squat life very close to the centre of Berlin.

Our Alternative Berlin tour will allow you to feel the true vibe of Berlin!

Attention! A daily transport ticket (AB zone) is needed for this tour!

Wasn’t sure what to expect but we loved it.

We have done a number of these walking tours now in different countries we visit. This was our first ‘alternative’ / non historical tour so we weren’t sure what to expect and if it would be something we’d be interested in, but we loved it! Still super informative and our guide was Chris from Canada who had so much knowledge and kept us entertained the whole time. Would recommend to anyone looking for something a bit different than the main landmarks.

... wherefore [street] art thou?

Cameron’s tour was very informative, esp. about why so much of the street art that we might consider as being simply a bit of a mess should be considered as real art (if one can make that distinction). The bits about alternative music and living styles were also worthwhile.
