Discover the Cool, Edgy, and Unfiltered Side of Berlin on a Private Alternative Tour

​

This private tour is anything but predictable—each experience is unique, as Berlin is constantly evolving. Street art shifts, markets happen usually on weekends and some locations aren’t open every day. That’s why your local expert will guide you through the city's coolest spots based on what’s happening that day and how much time you have. Trust us to show you the best of Berlin, whether it’s discovering hidden gems, exploring iconic spots, or stumbling upon something completely new!

​

What we could cover, depending on the day: We might start at Schwarzenberg Haus with its fascinating mix of street art and Jewish history, one of the last cool spots left in Mitte. From there, we could wander the nearby streets of Linienstraße and Ackerstraße, where you'll find old squats from the 90s still standing.

​

If you're up for it, we could hop on a tram to Prenzlauer Berg, once the wild heart of Berlin in the 90s, now transformed by gentrification into a place for young families and organic markets. If the weather's nice, we could stop by Prater, Berlin’s oldest beer garden, or head to the Mauerpark Flea Market on Sundays, one of the largest in the city.

​

Next, we could explore Friedrichshain, a trendy, student-friendly neighborhood known for its colorful squats on Rigaer Straße. This area used to see riots in the 90s on Mainzer Straße, but now it's gentrified. We could check out Kino Intimes, a cinema covered in street art, or visit the RAW Gelände, an old train depot turned into a cultural hotspot with beer gardens, clubs, street food, and graffiti. And of course, there’s Berghain, Berlin's most famous club, known worldwide for its legendary techno scene.

​

We could stroll along the East Side Gallery, the longest stretch of the Berlin Wall, famous for its murals, then head to Oberbaumbrücke for stunning views over the Spree. If you're in the mood, we can visit YAAM, an African-Jamaican beach bar located in the former death strip, or explore Holzmarkt, a creative urban space by the river with street food, chill areas, and a true playground for adults.

​

In Kreuzberg, Berlin’s most iconic district, we’ll check out famous murals like the Astronaut by Ash or paintings by Blu and Roa. We could also see old squats from the 60s at the Rauch Haus and Tommy Weisbecker Haus—places that were at the center of student protests. Along the way, we’ll talk about how the Berlin Wall shaped the area and visit a hidden treehouse and veggie garden by the Wall. Don't forget the vibrant Turkish market!

​

If we have time, we can visit Tempelhof, the abandoned airport now turned into a popular park, or peek into Spreepark, an abandoned theme park that's being transformed into a creative space.

​

If we’re driving, we could head out to Teufelsberg, an abandoned Cold War-era U.S. spy base now covered in graffiti, where you’ll get an incredible view of the city. Entry here is extra but worth it.

​

We could also swing by the Nollendorfplatz area, the heart of Berlin’s LGBTQ+ scene since the Weimar Republic, where we’ll dive into the history of the Golden 20s, Isherwood, and the legendary Cabaret. Not far from there is the world’s first street art museum, with murals scattered around the area.

​

Along the way, you’ll get to enjoy Berlin’s vibrant street life—people watching, quirky shops, hidden cafes, and local beer gardens. This tour is what you make it, so let’s make it unforgettable!
