Overview

Explore the funky counter-culture of Friedrichshain, one of the most eclectic areas of Berlin, with underground art galleries, subversive political street art and graffiti. Berlin was once a city divided between East and West by that infamous Wall and Checkpoint Charlie. The Berlin Wall was finally toppled in 1989 ending the dark era of the Cold War – see the largest surviving stretch of it and the Oberbaum Bridge, a former checkpoint, now a symbol of unification. During this immersive tour, you will explore East Berlin through its street art. See the famous East Side Gallery, the longest open-air gallery that stretches 1.3 km, Urban Spree, RAW and the studios of Boxhagener Strasse.
