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 Arabic culture, racism, clan crime, creative hipster hotspots and gentrification, which is turning old structures on their head, you will find a distinctive mix of challenge and a spirit of optimism here. This walking tour shows you the authentic Neukölln: the dark side, 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, pastry shops and grocery stores. We address social hot spots and creative initiatives. Finally, we explore the hip side of Neukölln and end the tour with a relaxed chai or 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:

Why this tour:
This tour is not for romantics. I will show you the real Neukölln - unvarnished, lively, full of contrasts. You will experience what moves this district and why it is so fascinating despite (or perhaps because of) its challenges.
