Kreuzberg Myths and Food Tour Adventure

Kreuzberg! This tour reveals the myths and realities of one of Germany’s most (in)famous and diverse neighborhoods. To give you a true cross-section, it starts and ends at two border zones—so you explore not only the heart but also the “off the beaten path” corners many classic Kreuzberg tours miss.
We’ll visit well-known hotspots like the East Side Gallery, the Oberbaum Bridge, and the peaceful Lohmühleninsel, with remnants of the Berlin Wall; then the unique Wrangelkiez, caught between old Kreuzberg and modern gentrification; the bustling Markthalle 9; lively Kottbusser Tor; and the charming Gräfekiez.

And! .... as seasoned gastro Guides is the area we will point out some foodie highlights of the neighbourhood and can easily include a stop for you during the tour.
