tour 1) The Heart of Berlin
On this tour you will see the main sights of the historical center, such as the government district with the Reichstag building (home of the German parliament), Brandenburg Gate, Potsdamer Platz (a completely new quarter including the Sony Centre), Unter den Linden (an alley that represents the old Prussia), Gendarmenmarkt (the most beautiful place in town), Nikolaiviertel (reconstruction of a part of ancient Berlin), Museumsinsel (one of the most important museum complexes in the world) and last but not least remnants of the Berlin wall. You´ll get an idea of how Berlin has become what it is today, and answers to questions such as "what did the old Berlin look like, where did Hitler kill himself, and where exactly was the wall?"
tour 2) Along the Wall
We drive by bike along the former course of the Berlin wall (please rent yourself a bike to join)
tour 3) Spandauer Vorstadt
This part of the central district of "Mitte" is a well preserved example of the "old" Berlin
(19th century and before).
It includes the "Hackesche Höfe", the "Tacheles", the new synagogue and the former "Scheunenviertel" (barn quarter). Today lots of galleries, bars and fashion shops have established here. And it is again a centre of the Jewish community, as it was before the holocaust.
tour 4) Prenzlauer Berg
North to the historic centre lies one of the largest and best preserved quarters from the period of
promoterism (1871 - 1914) in Europe. The "Mauerpark" and "Kulturbrauerei" are main attractions.
Home to the working class until the war, then badly neglected and discovered by opposing artists in the
1980s and the alternative scene in the 1990s, it has now become a home
mainly to young families and entrepreneurs.
