Overview
Tour through the most alternative neighborhood of Berlin.
With the best scene of the punk-rock era. Here David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, among others, created an alternative and counterculture atmosphere that is still alive in the streets today.
The tour starts at the Rio-Raiser-Platz where we will talk about the transformation of Kreuzberg, from the lifting of the wall to the present day.
Walking through the neighborhood you will learn about the history and evolution of graffiti until it became Street Art. We will see murals such as Astronaut-Cosmonaut, by Victor Ash; Nature Morte, by Roa and The Pink Man, by Blue. And of course, we will meet the collectives 1UP and the Berlin Kids, famous for their works marked by messages of protest and social criticism.
In the second part of the tour we will walk through the symbol of Berlin, the East Side Gallery, Berlin's longest stretch of wall and the largest art canvas in the world. We will learn about the social aspects of a city divided by a wall through art.
We will finish at the Ober Baum Brücke and from there I will recommend you how to continue through the neighborhood and other things.
