Description:

Leave the traditional tourist trails behind and let your local guide show you the secrets behind the “Capital of Cool.” Visit up-and-coming districts rife with development and new business, engage with the vibrant cultural scene, and explore what makes Berlin tick.

Begin in Mitte, a warren of passages, a hotbed for new technology business, and a key cog in the cultural development of post-unification Berlin. Continue to Prenzlauer Berg, a former working-class borough now popular with bohemian youth. Admire the Kulturbrauerei (Culture Brewery), a gentrified old brewery representative of the dynamic arts scene.

Friedrichschain and Kreuzberg complete your tour of the suburbs. Learn about the area's changing politics and how left-leaning ideals are coming under attack from new influences, a contentious development. The famous Oberbaum Bridge, which used to connect East and West Berlin, provides an opportunity to observe both sides from an excellent vantage point.

Conclude your tour at the suitably modern and contemporary Potsdamer Platz, a good place to contemplate Berlin's future direction.
