This is how the tour through Berlin works

We are not a classic city tour in Berlin. We don’t visit the overcrowded tourist attractions. We go where you have the perfect motif. Guided by a professional photographer who will give you tips & tricks to improve your photography skills

Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung: Our meeting point is the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung (Str. der Pariser Kommune 8A, 10243 Berlin)
East-Side-Gallery: From there we head off in the direction of the East-Side-Gallery. The artistic section of the Berlin Wall is the perfect photo motif and has attracted international attention thanks to well-known artists.
Oberbaumbrücke: The tour then continues to the Oberbaumbrücke. The bridge is one of the city’s landmarks and is highly recognizable thanks to its unique design.
Silesian Gate: Afterwards we visit the Silesian Gate. The “Schlesi”, as it is known colloquially, is a historic building in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
St. Michael’s Church: St. Michael’s Church is a historic church in Berlin-Mitte. The garden in front is ideal for taking photos of nature.
Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung: Afterwards, we return to our starting point – the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung.
