Do usual Berlin pub crawl experiences annoy you? Although pubs crawls are great for spotting the nightlife of the city, sometimes you might fancy a different style of drinking than usually put before you: not jam packed bars, but loud music. Alright if you are looking for a more singular and unforgettable encounter! With this book, we expose you to some alternative activities that will allow you to spot the hidden treasures of Berlin.
1. Urban Art Investigatory Research
While art doesn’t make its home only in Berlin’s galleries and museums, it can be on Berlin’s energetic streets. Get off the bar crawl scene and really get into the amazing urban art scene. Berlin’s street art scene is known for respecting the city’s cultural and past plurality. Explore the neighbourhoods to see amazing murals, graffiti and provocative works by a guided tour or on you own.
While places to visit include the East Side Gallery, where part of the Berlin Wall has been remade into an outdoor gallery, Kreuzberg, the home to an active street art culture, are popular. Local street performers who contributed to the walls of the city are lookin between Blu, El Bocho and Stinkfish.
2. Ancient Walking Tour
If you would want to explore Berlin’s rich past, a historic walking trip is a great substitute for a bar crawl. Berlin has a complex past and much to discover about World War II, the Cold War, and the split of the city.
Join a guided tour headed by informed residents who can offer insights and tales about important sites such the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Discover the past of the city and how it has moulded Berlin into the present.
3. Gastronomic Adventure
If you appreciate discovering regional cuisine, why not start a gastronomic trip in Berlin? Explore the dining scene and luxuriate in mouthwatering cuisine from all around instead of flitting between bars.
Berlin’s mixed-makeup has added to a varied gastronomic scene. Beginning your culinary tour, go to Kreuzberg’s Turkish market to enjoy fresh vegetables and delectable kebabs. Don’t miss sampling the famed street snack currywurst, which is bratwurst topped with curry ketchup. Savour a classic Berliner Pfannkuchen, a jam-filled doughnut, for dessert.
4. Scenic Bicycle Tour
Rent a bike and start a picturesque journey over Berlin’s parks and districts if you would want to see the city slowly. Berlin is a bike-friendly city well-known for its large system of bike routes.
Discover Tiergarten’s natural splendour, the central park of the city, or go pedalling beside the Spree River. The little areas of Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain, which feature cafes, bookshops, and lovely streets, are another worth visiting. While savouring the fresh air and exploring secret city nooks-holes sometimes missed during beer crawls, cycling lets you cover more distance.
5. Tour the Night Markets.
Visit one of Berlin’s night markets for an original evening experience. Rather than hang out in packed bars late at night, really embrace the local way of life and take in the lively market scene.
Comprising several themed food markets spread over the week, the Markthalle Neun is the most well-liked night market. Taste local craft beer, sample a variety of international cuisine, and look for organic food. The market has live music and cookery courses as well, therefore creating a vibrant and interesting setting.
