Berlin City in its entirety – with a private taxi SUV with an extra tour through a trendy district
What's still missing when you've already seen everything important in the east and west of Berlin? That's right, a walking tour (possible with a get-out and a tour) through one of the "hip" trendy districts of Berlin. They change every few years; what is hip today can be considered bourgeois or gentrified tomorrow - but these are all consequences of the same development. Old-established shops are empty because existing customers may have stayed away. This is what happened, for example, in Nord-Neukölln, a working-class residential area close to Kreuzberg, located in the former west (but surrounded almost all around by the wall, therefore uninteresting for investors from the west for a long time). After the fall of the Wall, many of the employees in the factories in West Berlin lost their jobs - jobs were also cut in industry there, at least 100,000. So not just in the East (there for other reasons). In West Berlin there were plenty of subsidies and a 10 percent bonus on the salary of each employee. So the glittering façade was right, which was typical of West Berlin, but could not survive without government support. Without work, the shops and corner bars were no longer popular and stood empty. Students and artists moved into this emptiness, enjoyed cheap living space and used the empty shops for studios, cafés and "new" (trendy) corner bars. This is what happened all around in Reuterkiez, on Weserstr. Which was quickly renamed “Kreuzkölln” – because of its close location to Kreuzberg, opposite the Landwehr Canal and Kottbusser Damm. The new cafés and pubs improved the area, making it interesting for newcomers - and therefore less interesting for the hip and low-cost, low-budget, experimental artists etc. And the entourage moves on to the next, apparently as yet undiscovered district. Wedding, Moabit, Nord-Schöneberg, there are still many possibilities.
Inexpensive and fun, yet entertaining and informative
Prices start from €199 for the 3.5 hours*, €10 more for an additional person, and €20 for a guided tour in English. You won't get a city tour in a luxury car that lasts 3-4 hours that cheaply, here you can get the explanations live. The whole thing is wrapped up in charming anecdotes, and a lot of it from my own experience. If you wish, a short exit and tour in the trendy district included, e.g. Kottbusser Tor to Oranienplatz, or at the (former) Künstlerhaus Bethanien, or at the scene club Berghain or through the RAW area in Friedrichshain, etc.
*Price deviations possible, prices are gross including taxi tariff fee and city tour
