Itinerary

  1. Stop 1

    On this alternative tour, the first stop is probably the last stop of a established world. From here on out the stops are authentic and closer to the reality of living in a big city.

    5 minutes
  2. Stop 2

    Not only one of Berlin's most famous districts, Kreuzberg is a melting pot par excellence with loads of stories to tell

    30 minutes
  3. Stop 3

    An unexpected place of peace between pre-fab-buildings, old style buildings and modern architecture. A perfect place to gain some understanding into the district and it's diversity.

    10 minutes
  4. Stop 4

    The Treehouse by the Wall: This is the story of a guest worker coming over and adapting to the Kreuzberg mentality in a second. Getting a gardenhouse with boldness right by the wall and marking their territory with the berlin guerilla mentality.

    10 minutes
  5. Stop 5 Pass by

    In a place where multiple squaddings led to a remarkable place for artists. Not only during the start of the scene, in the peak in the 1980s but also in early 2000s. All that effort led to the building becoming a room for artists of all kind.

  6. Stop 6 Pass by

    The YAAM is an incredible club, but the view from here might be even more fascinating. From here you see the TV-Tower, the Holzmarkt, the Oberbaumbridge and the river Spree - it takes a minute to take that beauty in.

  7. Stop 7

    The longest remaining of the Berlin Wall, filled with spectacular art and right within a completely new-designed business-quarter.

    10 minutes
  8. Stop 8

    The district's landmark stands for crossing borders in any meaning

    10 minutes
  9. Stop 9

    Once restricted borderland, today the spot for the young urban creatives

    5 minutes
  10. Stop 10 Pass by

    This very unique sculpture obviously led to multiple interpretations of which the official one is probably the one with the least sense to it.

  11. Stop 11

    Another perfect stop to understand Kreuzberg's diversity of buildings, people and history. The perfect example of big city life but yet escapism. This street really has it all.

    10 minutes
  12. Stop 12

    A trainyard transformed into a park, symbolizing the thin line between alternative life and anarchy.

    10 minutes
  13. Stop 13

    Completly inconspicuous is the peak of capitalism in the heart of the melting pot. Surrounded by authentic Berliners, anarchists and political activism is the car loft. A building, where you can take your car up to your balcony.

    5 minutes
  14. Stop 14 Pass by

    Dolce Vita at the waterfront incl. Turkish market on Tuesday's and Friday's.

  15. Stop 15 Pass by

    A short break from the hustle of the big city in an authentic and bohemian neighborhood, just living the good life, playing some boule.

  16. Stop 16

    You can either start your night in a bar or in the light of a beautiful summer sunset right here with hundreds of strangers. Come as you are.

    5 minutes
  17. Stop 17

    As contrast to the previous Dolce Vita stops, the "Kotti" stand out with it's brutal 1970s architecture, the vibrant drugscene an heavy traffic.
