Neukölln Real, a district in transition!
Tour description
++ Free Walking Tour through Neukölln++
Neukölln – the district that polarizes like no other in Germany.
Between Arabic culture, racism, clan crime, creative hipster hotspots, and gentrification that turns old structures upside down, you will find here a unique mix of challenge and a spirit of new beginnings. This walking tour shows you the authentic Neukölln: the dark sides, but also the cool, surprisingly diverse, and vibrant facets that make this district one of the most exciting places in Berlin.
From Rixdorf to the urban metropolis – Arabic influences, vibrant street life with shisha bars, patisseries, and grocery stores. We address social hotspots and creative initiatives. To conclude, we explore the hip side of Neukölln and end the tour with a relaxed chai or drink.

Why this tour:
This tour is not for romantics. I show you the real Neukölln – unvarnished, lively, full of contrasts. You experience what moves this district and why it is so fascinating despite (or precisely because of) its challenges.
Important:
This tour is not about the hip or perfect Berlin, but about the people and real life with all its contradictions, edges, and corners. We talk about sensitive topics such as migration, racism, and social inequality. Honestly, respectfully, and with sensitivity.
This tour thrives on openness, curiosity, and mutual respect. It is aimed at people who are willing to listen, understand, and perhaps also question their own perspective.
Those who engage with it will experience a side of Berlin that touches, moves, and opens the eyes to the essentials.
