If you’re not one for the mainstream, it is highly recommended you take the Alternative Berlin Walking Tour. Unlike many of the other walking tours on offer, this motley crew of experienced guides avoids drowning you in historical facts, care little for architectural feats and pound the pavements less travelled by the regular tourist. Embracing the city’s subculture, the company hopes only to share Berlin’s active underground lifestyle whilst encouraging preservation of unique communities and environments. If you prefer to play by night, the 666 Night Crawl is the perfect introduction to the theme pubs, techno clubs, gay bars and other nightlife in the city.

Alternative Berlin

The tours are free to take but the operators do work on a tip basis and are worth their weight in gold. The average tip is around 10€ but there is no minimum. Tour operators are budget-respectful and just ask that you donate what you feel you can or what your experience was worth.

The only outlay required for this journey is a Tageskarten (day ticket) for the local rail system. A pass for zones AB will cost you 6.10€
