Hi, my name is Martin, and I'm a trained and certified Berlin Tour Guide with an MA from Bath...

During the division, these two areas were surrounded by The Wall, and so they weren't exactly among West-Berlin's most sought-after hoods to live in! Both were known for their ethnic diversity, joined by a vast community of outcasts, drop-outs, and anyone who found that in these areas they could be whatever it was they wanted to be. The Fall of The Wall has put both these neighbourhoods smack in the centre of town, which is why they've now become highly desirable areas to live in. This mix - which is not without friction - has a very unique appeal. And though the sudden popularity of these areas has indeed created some tension, yet it is exactly this tension, this particular blend of people, newcomers, and those who've lived here forever, that make a walk through this area a uniquely interesting experience. From the fringes of West-Berlin, these areas have since shifted to the city's center and to the center of everyone's desires. Where else in the world can you see, feel, experience anything like it?
- We'll start our tour at "Kottbusser Tor". -Next, you'll hear all about the park which during Berlin's division used to be the monstrous death strip, before being able to luxuriate in the beauty of the "Angel Bassin". See one of the last remaining alternative "free spaces" of Kreuzberg, still occupied by a mix of squatters, political activists, and creative people that have been a vital part of Kreuzberg's social fabric since the late 1960s. - Then, delight in the flavors and delicious smells of "Markthalle 9" with its amazing variety of food from all over the world. Learn about Görlitzer Park, once a railway station! - Next, cherish the faded charm of Berlin's Landwehr Canal, and should it be a Tuesday or a Friday, we'll delve into the delights of the Turkish Market - Zig-zagging our way through trendy Neukölln with its awe-inspiring diversity of cafes and restaurants, we'll end our tour on Hermannplatz, next to the Arab Quarter I am more than willing to customize this tour according to your preferences.
