Discover a Berlin in constant motion through the street art covering its walls. This tour takes you into a vibrant urban art scene, where works appear, disappear and evolve along with the city. After this tour, you will see Berlin from a different perspective.
A tour that is always different
The route adapts to the works currently on display: every tour is unique and reflects the city’s current artistic scene.
Understanding the diversity of street art
Learn to distinguish between graffiti, tags, collages, murals, institutional commissions and advertising campaigns, as well as the messages and codes behind them.
Seeing the city differently
Street art offers a way to understand Berlin’s recent history, its tensions, struggles and creativity.
About the Berlin street art tour
Berlin is now one of the world’s street art capitals. While the first murals appeared on the Berlin Wall in West Berlin, it was after the Wall came down that the city became a haven for artists and collectives from around the world. Its streets, abandoned sites and constantly changing spaces provided ideal settings for this often politically engaged form of art.
Unlike a conventional guided tour, the route is not fixed: it changes according to the works that are visible, those that have disappeared and those that have been painted over. Exploring neighbourhoods such as Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Mitte or Prenzlauer Berg, you will discover how this ephemeral art interacts with the city and its inhabitants.
During the tour, your guide explains the techniques, intentions and messages behind the artists’ work. Street art then becomes a way of reading contemporary Berlin society: protest, memory, gentrification, identity and the appropriation of public space.
