Overview

Get a feeling for the city’s famous image by exploring the hip districts Kreuzberg & Friedrichshain. We’ll show you how the former borderland got converted in many ways, how alternative subculture clashes big business, how Turkish Berliners meet young creatives, squatters & party people. A great combination of panoramic paths along the waterfront, Eastside Gallery & through colourful neighboorhoods!

The Free-Berlin-concept: The guide can design his tour freely. Route plan may differ.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Nicholas Quarter, Rathausstrasse 21, 10178 Berlin Germany

On this alternative tour, the first stop is probably the last stop of a established world. From here on out the stops are authentic and closer to the reality of living in a big city.

Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: Kreuzberg, Berlin Germany

Not only one of Berlin's most famous districts, Kreuzberg is a melting pot par excellence with lots of stories to tell.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Engelbecken, Engeldamm, Berlin Germany

An unexpected place of peace between pre-fab-buildings, old style buildings and modern architecture. A perfect place to gain some understanding into the district and it's diversity.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Bethaniendamm, 10 Berlin, Germany

The Treehouse by the Wall:
This is the story of a guest worker coming over and adapting to the Kreuzberg mentality in a second. Getting a gardenhouse with boldness right by the wall and marking their territory with the berlin guerilla mentality.

Duration: 10 minutes

Pass By: Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Kottbusser Str. 10 Mariannenplatz, 10999 Berlin Germany

In a place where multiple squaddings led to a remarkable place for artists. Not only during the start of the scene, in the peak in the 1980s but also in early 2000s. All that effort led to the building becoming a room for artists of all kind.

Pass By: YAAM, An der Schillingbruecke 3, 10243 Berlin Germany

The YAAM is an incredible club, but the view from here might be even more fascinating. From here you see the TV-Tower, the Holzmarkt, the Oberbaumbridge and the river Spree - it takes a minute to take that beauty in.

Stop At: East Side Gallery, Muehlenstrasse 3-100 Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, 14167 Berlin Germany

The longest remaining part of the Berlin Wall, filled with spectacular art and right within a completely new-designed business-quarter.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Oberbaum Bridge, Am Oberbaum 1, 10243 Berlin Germany

The district's landmark stands for crossing borders in any meaning.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Osthafen (Berlin), 10245 Berlin, Germany

Once restricted borderland, today the spot for the young urban creatives. From here it's easy to understand the GDR's obsession with the Wall, borderland and heavy restriction regarding freedom. The river Spree invites everyone to take a small break with a beautiful few.

Duration: 15 minutes

Pass By: Molecule Men Sculpture, An den Treptowers 1, 12435 Berlin Germany

This very unique sculpture obviously led to multiple interpretations of which the official one is probably the one with the least sense to it.

Pass By: MS Hoppetosse, Eichenstraße 4, 12435 Berlin, Germany

The area here is sort of like a playing ground for adults with a concert hall, a swimming bar and an outdoor bath.

Pass By: Schlesischer Busch, Am Flutgraben 1, 12435 Berlin, Germany

A former Wall watchtower turned art galary stand tall in one of Berlin's many parks.

Stop At: Falckensteinstraße, 10997 Berlin, Germany

Another perfect stop to understand Kreuzberg's diversity of buildings, people and history. The perfect example of big city life but yet escapism. This street really has it all.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Gorlitzer Park, Gorlitzerstrasse, Berlin Germany

A former trainstation of Berlin's extensive railway system transformed into a park, symbolizing the thin line between alternative life and anarchy.

Duration: 10 minutes

Stop At: Liegnitzer Straße, Liegnitzer Str., 10999 Berlin, Germany

Completly inconspicuous is the peak of capitalism in the heart of the melting pot. Surrounded by authentic Berliners, anarchists and political activism is the car loft. A building, where you can take your car up to your balcony.

Duration: 5 minutes

Pass By: Landwehrkanal, from Chartottenburg to Kreuzberg, Berlin Germany

Dolce Vita at the waterfront incl. Turkish market on Tuesday's and Friday's.

Pass By: Boules courts on the Landwehr canal, Paul-Lincke-Ufer 13, 10999 Berlin, Germany

A short break from the hustle of the big city in an authentic and bohemian neighborhood, just living the good life, playing some boule.

Pass By: Planufer, 10967 Berlin, Germany

Is Kreuzberg really the home of anarchists, slobs and survival artists? It is much more and also the complete opposite to offer.

Stop At: Admiralbrucke, Admiralstrasse, 10967 Berlin Germany

You can either start your night in a bar or in the light of a beautiful summer sunset right here with hundreds of strangers. Come as you are.

Duration: 5 minutes

Stop At: Kottbusser Tor, Adalbertstrasse 96_98 Reichenberger Straße 174–177, 10999 Berlin Germany

As contrast to the previous Dolce Vita stops, the "Kotti" stand out with it's brutal 1970s architecture, the vibrant drugscene an heavy traffic.

Duration: 5 minutes

the tour was amazing i had rico (i hope the spellings right) as my tour guide. he was funny, helpful and insightful! it was easily one of the highlights for my short trip in berlin 🫶 this tour is perfect for those who want to explore the different sides of berlin instead of the typical tourist attractions which imo you can visit without a guide :) the tour was a perfect mix of history, comedy and so much more 🌸

Very interesting tour of the alternative side of Berlin. Our guide Karl was excellent and very knowledgeable with great stories in all the areas we stopped. Highly recommend this tour to see a different side of Berlin.

Jake gave us a very enjoyable 3 hour bike tour of a number of 'alternativ'-focused sights in Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. He is very generous with his time and with answering questions, and super sympatico. I really felt we saw a bit of Berlin behind what tourists normally get to see. Super rewarding experience!

We loved the alternative experience and Theo was a great guide who gave us a fascinating insight into the non-touristy parts of Berlin and The effects of The Wall!! Annie and Stew - New Zealand.
