City walk in Kreuzberg district
Duration: 4 hours with a break
Meeting point: hotel / by agreement
Start: between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m.
End: hotel or downtown
Tour description:
We start in "Kreuzberg 36" on the Oberbaum bridge with a view of the monumental sculpture made of perforated aluminum by the US artist Jonathan Borofsky. The former urinal under the railway tracks of the Schlesisches Tor
railway station has achieved cult status as a burger restaurant. We walk along Köpenicker Straße to the beach bar
of the Sage restaurant. Then we proceed to the Künstlerhaus Bethanien on Mariannenplatz, a center for modern
visual arts with exhibitions, workshops and an artist-in-residence program. Then we visit the Market Hall Nine, which celebrates a "Street Food Thursday" every week from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Lausitzer Platz is close to here. On May 1, 1987,
a street festival there became the starting point for the infamous Kreuzberg May riots. We continue to Heinrichplatz
and what is probably the most famous street in Kreuzberg: Oranienstrasse.
Now we change to "Kreuberg 61". We cross Kottbusser square (Kotti) towards Landwehr Canal. Along the Böcklerpark we arrive Baerwaldstrasse and a few minutes later we reach the market hall on Marheinekplatz and the colorful and bustling Bergamnstrasse, where our tour ends a little later at Viktoriapark.

Recommendation: 
This is a long distances walk. We recommend you to buy a day ticket Berlin AB for public transportation.
This tour is much easier by bike.
