Tour Itinerary
Stranded behind the Iron curtain for nearly 40 years, West Berlin developed it’s own, unique identity and become a magnet for non-conformists in search of an alternative lifestyle. Sub-cultures, squats, and graffiti art become part of Berlin’s distinct style, and with the fall of the Berlin Wall the scene didn’t disappear, it simply moved east.
Explore the gritty, grungy, underground of the city that Berliner’s love! Witness the clash between corporate expansion & counter-culture.
