Hello everyone :D Let me introduce myself! I am Anusha and I am a student of German and Slavic literature and I have come to Berlin to improve my German. I am passionate about the arts, architecture, music and literature, above all. I love meeting new people and sharing experiences and knowledge. Also learn! I am very sociable and kind, I also consider myself fun and funny. I hope we will see each other very soon on my tours!

Tour description

In this tour we will visit THE OTHER CENTER OF BERLIN . We will see what was once the nerve center of socialist Berlin and which, today, has been forgotten.

This tour is full of contrasts, just like Berlin. We will travel to the past and the present, even to the future! We will see huge and rough constructions, but, at the same time, vulnerable and sober.
We will visit emblematic buildings : brutalists, imperialists, socialist modernists, socialist realists, functionalists, etc.

These buildings will explain the history of a city that, even now, is divided. They will help us understand why Berlin is so full of chiaroscuro and, ultimately, why the city is so special.

It is an opportunity for all those who, like me, are passionate about history, art and architecture.

What are we going to visit?

  • Karl-Max Allee (tour start at Strausberger Platz)
  • Cafe Moskau
  • Kino International
  • bcc Berlin Congress Center
  • Haus des Lehrers and Kongresshalle
  • Haus des Reinsens
  • alexanderplatz
  • World clock
  • Berlin Fernsehturm (end of tour)

I hope you like my proposal and that you come and enjoy this wonderful city with me. See you very soon!

*A minimum of 4 attendees is required to run the tour. In case there are not enough participants, I will contact you to arrange a new date :)

*If you want to book for groups of more than six people, a contribution of €10 per person will be requested at the beginning of the tour. This is the amount that allows me to run the tour profitably, I thank you in advance for your understanding and I hope individual travelers will take this into account as well.
