Berlin has been my hometown for many years, and the streets of this vibrant metropolis are as familiar to me as my own four walls. As a certified guide since 2009, I have the privilege of sharing my knowledge of the history, multicultural diversity and socio-political developments of this city with travelers. For me, Berlin is not just a city, but a living history book that I would love to open for you. I will take you on a unique journey of discovery to the most exciting places in Berlin, where you will not only be amazed by the culture and history, but you will also be able to experience the best of cuisine. Because a city not only consists of its past and impressive real estate developments, but also of the diversity of aromas and flavors it has to offer.

Tour description

++ Free Walking Tour through Neukölln++

Neukölln – the district that polarizes like no other in Germany.
Between Arab culture, racism, clan crime, creative hipster hotspots, and gentrification that's turning old structures upside down, you'll find a distinctive mix of challenge and a spirit of optimism here. This walking tour shows you authentic Neukölln: its darker sides, but also its cool, surprisingly diverse, and vibrant facets that make this neighborhood one of Berlin's most exciting places.

From Rixdorf to the urban metropolis – Arabic influences, vibrant street life with shisha bars, pastry shops, and grocery stores. We'll explore social hotspots and creative initiatives. Finally, we'll explore the hip side of Neukölln and wrap up the tour with a relaxing chai or a drink.

++ Highlights of the tour ++

  • Walking on the Arab Street:

Sonnenallee also known as Gaza Strip in Germany and No-Go-Area

  • Discussions about challenges:

Racism, clans, gentrification, social inequality

 

  • Visiting an Arabic restaurant:

Conversation over a chai and pastries



Why this tour:
This tour isn't for romantics. I'll show you the real Neukölln—unvarnished, vibrant, and full of contrasts. You'll experience what makes this neighborhood tick and why it's so fascinating despite (or perhaps because of) its challenges.
