Alternative City Tour
Stranded behind the Iron Curtain for nearly 40 years, West Berlin developed its own, unique identity and became a magnet for non-conformists in search of an alternative lifestyle. Sub-cultures, squats, and graffiti art became part of Berlin’s distinct style, and with the fall of the Berlin Wall the scene didn’t disappear, it simply moved east.
Explore the gritty, grungy, underground of the city that Berliners love! Witness the clash between corporate expansion and counter-culture.
We are proud to work with many talented and creative young tour guides who are experts on the rapidly changing face of alternative art in Berlin. Many of them are artists themselves and can provide essential insight into the highly talked about topics of graffiti and street art. Because the art is constantly changing this is a tour that you can take again and again!
