    Full description
    The alternative culture of Berlin is linked to the peculiar history of the city during the Cold War. On this tour you will understand why Berlin has become the central point of the alternative and how alternative culture and urban art have been a fundamental basis for the 90s revival of the city. Wade through the historical, economic and social changes that followed the fall of the wall (1989) up to the current phase of gentrification. The walls of the city are a canvas for “paintings” and the streets are transformed into an art gallery. Gigantic works sprout between the buildings of the districts of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, small pieces of art wedged into corners, hidden in the courtyards and along the streets of the Mitte district. On the border between east and west, along the wounds of the wall, between art and politics. See the colors and stories of Berlin in the areas of urban art.

    Natacha was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. She brought us to RAW and pointed out many of the artworks there, adding a lot of interesting information. Then we crossed the bridge to Kreuzberg and walked through the streets and parks discovering more pieces. The kids - 12 and 14 - were enthralled and thoroughly enjoyed it too.

    Guide très sympa visite intéressante. Mes fils de 12 et 15 ans ont bien aimé. Le plus jeune a trouvé un tout petit peu trop long. Belles découvertes. Merci beaucoup. Suggestion à développer : Pour les ados éventuellement possibilité de rencontrer un graffeur "agréé "local qui parlerait de son art 15 minutes ?

    Non è il giro solito di Berlino, si cammina tanto e si visitano posti che credo poche persone metterebbero nel proprio planning. Ma è particolarmente affascinante percorrere strade che trasudano street art. La ragazza italiana, Amelie, che ci ha accompagnato è stata davvero molto carina e preparata. Io fossi in voi lo farei.
