Explore Berlin's rich history and vibrant culinary scene with my "Berlin in 4: Savor, Sip, and Soak in History!" experience. Led by a knowledgeable local host, you’ll discover iconic sites and hidden gems while indulging in local flavors from traditional bratwurst to craft beers. This experience is a fantastic mix of culture and food that really shows off Berlin's lively spirit and welcoming hospitality.
I’ve set you to start with a visit to the iconic East Side Gallery, the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall. The art and your host will simultaneously regale you with stories of Berlins tumultuous past. I was captivated by the true stories of division and reunification. Your host will not only bring the story to life but also its characters.
Holzmarkt is the next stop of your experience, even though getting there will feel like an experience of its own. Savor the flavors of authentic German cuisine in the traditional beer garden I loved. Schnitzel, bratwurst, and sauerkraut, paired perfectly with locally brewed beer along the banks of the Spree. You might not want to move on, but you have to.
I hope you’re not too full. I want you to enjoy some street food whilst you wander through the bustling markets and hidden alleys of Markthalle Neun. There is plenty of international fare on offer but I want you to try the more local offering, apfelstrudel was my love.
Osthafen is your new destination and you will enjoy some of the most beautiful views of the Spree river as you make your way there. Enjoy the waterfront or jump into some of the nearby cafes for a needed coffee fix. You’ll be shown the historical northern and southern harbor basins that are still in use today.
You’ll round off the experience with a visit to the iconic Oberbaum bridge over the River Spree. Here you will have amazing views of the city skyline and your host will show you the must see sights. This is a really popular spot for photography and i’d recommend you indulge. Share your pictures so we can enjoy it with you.
That's it, you’ve crammed in some amazing, not so usual Berlin things to see and do. I hope you are feeling great and fulfilled and keen to carry on exploring.
