Itinerary
Choose either a morning or afternoon departure and meet up with your guide in Kreuzberg. Make your first stop at the Oberbaumbruecke, a double-decker bridge which spans the Spree River. As you travel past the main landmarks of ‘SO36,’ the postal code and nickname for eastern section of Kreuzberg you’ll visit, listen as your guide explains the area’s rough-and-tumble past and its fast-changing future.
Check out some lingering fragments of the Berlin Wall that once passed through the area, and discover how the area’s historic mix of abandoned buildings contributed to the vibrant street art culture and creative community that lives here today. You’ll also stop at Victoriapark, one of Kreuzberg’s best-known green spaces.
Finish your walk by learning about the future plans for Kreuzberg, including the looming riverside development project which may soon speed up plans to further gentrify the neighborhood.

My 12 year old son and I wanted to explore this bohemian part of Berlin…and wanted to learn the history of the neighborhood. Very interesting section of the city with many highlights. Our guide, Klaus, was friendly, knowledgeable, fun and knew where to get awesome spaetzle! Great tour.
