The Journey
East Side Gallery
Experience history and art intertwined at the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall. Transformed into a 1.3-kilometer open-air art gallery along the Spree River, this iconic monument features over 100 murals by artists from around the world, symbolizing freedom, political change, and the triumph over division. Don't miss the infamous 'brother kiss' painting. Stroll between Ostbahnhof and Oberbaumbrücke and witness the enduring power of art in public spaces, capturing Berlin’s spirit of reunification and creative expression.
Kreuzberg
Immerse yourself in the vibrant and diverse atmosphere of Kreuzberg, Berlin's cultural melting pot. Once a working-class district bordering the Berlin Wall, Kreuzberg now pulsates with life, offering a unique blend of street art, alternative cafes, and historic backyards. Explore the bustling streets, meet students, artists, and long-established Berliners, and discover the echoes of Turkish migration, the 80s squatter movement, and political activism. Wander through Görlitzer Park, along the Landwehrkanal, and around Kottbusser Tor ('Kotti') to witness the raw, lively, and story-filled essence of Berlin's most intense neighborhood.
Kottbusser Tor ('Kotti')
Dive into the intense and captivating atmosphere of Kottbusser Tor, or 'Kotti,' in the heart of Kreuzberg. This vibrant hub brings together migrants, veterans, activists, creatives, and neighborhood initiatives in a loud, colourful, and direct display of Berlin life. See the 'Neues Kreuzberger Zentrum,' a large social housing project from the 1970s that still shapes the cityscape. Experience the contrasts of traditional tea rooms and snack bars alongside modern gastronomy and startups, making Kotti a microcosm of Berlin: raw, contradictory, and undeniably alive.
Neukölln
Discover the dynamic and evolving district of Neukölln, a place brimming with contrasts and untold stories. Once a working-class area facing social challenges, Neukölln has transformed into one of Berlin's most exciting neighborhoods. Since the 1960s, migration, particularly from Turkey and Arab countries, has profoundly shaped its character. Experience the cultural fusion of Arab bakeries, trendy cafés, and traditional Berlin pubs. Explore the Reuterkiez, Sonnenallee, and Weserstraße to witness the urban experimentation and vibrant, albeit tense, coexistence that define Neukölln today.
Reuterkiez ('Kreuzkölln')
Explore the trendy Reuterkiez, also known as 'Kreuzkölln,' nestled between Neukölln and Kreuzberg. This rapidly changing neighborhood once epitomized a working-class and migrant district with its narrow old buildings and rough charm. Since the 2000s, it has attracted young people, artists, and creatives drawn by affordable rents and an ideal location. Immerse yourself in its unique blend of original Berliners, migrant families, and international newcomers. Stroll along Weserstraße, Maybachufer, and Sonnenallee to feel the pulse of a district constantly reinventing itself while honoring its roots. Experience the lively and inspiring atmosphere of this ever-evolving Berlin gem.
