Berlin Trip Overview
This is an off-the-beaten-track experience across Berlin, combining the diversity of the city with its history. Along the way you’ll see Nazi-era buildings as well as a 19th century hospital, now converted into a splendid and sprawling apartment complex; equally, you’ll come across stumblestones commemorating murdered Jews during the Nazi-era that are next to some faux-Tudor style buildings developed by one of Berlin’s most important turn-of-the-century city developers. You’ll also see a typical late 19th century tenement building set against a converted bunker. The quirky diversity of Neukölln with its Turkish Market mark the end of this tour, one which some have described to have an “A” and a “B” Side, though which one is which no one seems to agree!
