Berlin’s most exciting hotspots in an unusual way
Starting from our meeting point at Hackesche Höfe, we plunge into the colorful hustle and bustle of one of the capital’s most trendy districts. After the welcome and brief introduction, you’ll already have a taste of how varied and insightful the next three hours together will be. Here in Berlin-Mitte, you can feel the city’s eventful history up close on every street corner, in every backyard and on every market square.
We travel back to the origins of the capital, move through the imperial era, leave two world wars and the division of the city during the GDR era behind us and land unerringly in the here and now: In the contrasting “Mitte”, one of the city’s cultural flagships.
Most of the historic buildings, some of which date back to the 13th century, were renovated and preserved for posterity after the fall of communism in 1989 at the latest.
So today we can marvel at an illustrious neighborhood: the imposing Museum Island, the Berlin Cathedral with its gigantic dome, the rebuilt City Palace, the venerable Red City Hall and – not to forget – the famous television tower, all in a very small space. This was a monument to the political regime of the GDR, but it also triggered serious disputes.

Speaking of portions – before your stomach starts to growl, you can feast five times in between! From hot to cold, from Berlin to the rest of the world. Our intention with this selection is to reflect the diverse gastronomic scene in Mitte and at the same time surprise you with one or two unusual specialties.
After three entertaining hours, you can now relax and let the day and the many impressions come to an end. Or you can be motivated by the refreshments and set off on your next adventure. After all, there’s never a dull moment in Berlin. -
