Berlin - Off the Beaten Path Private Tour
Overview
Everyone can visit the Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island! This tour takes you through a part of Berlin that many don't know yet, even though it has an extremely exciting history. We meet at Hackescher Markt and explore the old Jewish Berlin there. Where did the largest spontaneous protest against the Holocaust take place? Where did a brave Berliner hide blind Jews from the Nazis? And what happened to Berlin's oldest Jewish cemetery? Impressive monuments, incredible stories and magical backyards can be discovered here.
We see one of the only places where the wild, creative and colorful charm of the 90s can still be seen. I will also show you my favorite street in all of Berlin - Grosse Hamburger street - because there are so many stories to tell and time seems to have stopped here. How was the new synagogue saved? And why did Martin Luther King come to East Berlin?
Then we travel by subway to the oldest part of the city, which is completely off the radar for most people. Here we learn what the Underground Station Klosterstraße has in common with old Babylon. Where does Berlin's medieval city wall still stand? In which restaurant is Napoleon supposed to have dined? And where was the world's first museum against war? Dig deeper and find some of the hidden sights, magical courtyards and fascinating, crazy and inspiring stories! There's a lot to discover and I'm happy to take you there!
