“It seems very pretty, but it’s rather hard to understand ... Somehow it seems to fill my head with ideas – only I don’t know exactly what they are!" (Alice in "Through the Looking Glass")
Visiting Neukölln feels like a round-the-world trip in one afternoon:
160 nations on 45 square kilometers, exotic supermarkets full of products from all over the world, and outraged headlines on "migrant parallel societies" - that's what the district of Neukölln is famous for.
But, did you know that until the present day, Neukölln has the strongest Christian community of Berlin, a vibrant art scene, and some of the city's best eateries?
Away from the busy main streets (which are known as far as Syria for their offer of goods from all over the Orient), idyllic parks and squares are waiting to tell their story: It is the story of intercultural cohesion, the pursuit of urbanity and the growth of Berlin.
On this tour, you will...
* explore a 18th century Bohemian village with a traditional smithery,
* see the development of Neukölln's architecture from 1320 to 2000,
* walk on hidden paths, through backyards, historic passages,
* try award-winning Syrian pastries at a family bakery and authentic Arabic tea
Duration: 1.5-4 hours (we're flexible - let us know what suits you!)
