Note the inclusion of contemporary ingredients as you go along - as Europe’s youngest capital city, East Berlin is known for its cultural diversity and fusion of nationalities. This has been reflected in its cuisine, where local favorites include dishes from a broad array of cultural backgrounds, notably from Turkey.
Wander around East Berlin with your host, stopping off at trendy eateries and wholesome food markets that locals love along the way. Chat to your host about the food cultures of the various districts and learn about the way Berlin’s history has influenced its cuisine today.
Perhaps you’d like to end off your experience at an outdoor Biergarten. Predictably, the beer game is strong in the capital.

Loulia was a lovely and engaged conversationalist as she guided us through non-touristy areas of (formerly East) Berlin. She shared insights into Berlin life, the music and cultural scene well.

Our host Alex was really friendly and great to talk to. He showed us two lovely places one for Schnitzels and the other for coffee and cake. We would not have found these places on our own we had a wonderful time.
