Tour description

Kreuzberg, located in central Berlin, boasts a multicultural ambiance with a diverse population, particularly Turkish, Arab, and immigrants from various parts of the world. Renowned for its techno clubs, street art, and international dining scene, from Middle Eastern to Italian and Mexican, the neighborhood fosters a strong sense of community, drawing young people and artists to cafes, parks, galleries, and street corners. Beyond its vibrant present, Kreuzberg’s rich history, spanning from the 19th century to today, reflects global crises, and our tour explores both historical monuments and the lively spirit of the district.

Our walking tour with Alex was amazing. I've gotten to LOVE the city with all my heart because of Alex's personal and historical stories of it. He was very well prepared and also gave us time and space to ask him questions about everything related and unrelated to the city itself. We felt very comfortable with him. I definitely recommend these tours, very useful and top quality program!
