Itinerary
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.
Not only one of Berlin's most famous districts, Kreuzberg is a melting pot par excellence with loads of stories to tell
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.
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.
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.
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.
The longest remaining of the Berlin Wall, filled with spectacular art and right within a completely new-designed business-quarter.
The district's landmark stands for crossing borders in any meaning
Once restricted borderland, today the spot for the young urban creatives
This very unique sculpture obviously led to multiple interpretations of which the official one is probably the one with the least sense to it.
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.
A trainyard transformed into a park, symbolizing the thin line between alternative life and anarchy.

About Berlin
Berlin is Germany's creative, open-minded capital, where landmarks of a turbulent history stand among art, green parks and legendary nightlife.
The Brandenburg Gate is the city's symbol, close to the glass-domed Reichstag and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Fragments of the Berlin Wall survive, most strikingly at the East Side Gallery, a long stretch covered in murals, and at the Bernauer Strasse memorial, while Checkpoint Charlie marks the most famous former crossing point.
Top-ranked sights in Berlin: Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor), Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (Holocaust Memorial), Checkpoint Charlie.
