Description
Join a guided walking tour of Berlin and discover the city’s most unattractive buildings. See the ugly side of Berlin and learn about the city’s architecture from your guide. There is hardly any other place in the world where so many ugly buildings are concentrated as at Alexanderplatz, and many of the new structures rival the buildings from the 1960s and 1970s in their lack of imagination. Urban planning blunders stifle all urban life here; even in the finest weather, one feels a chill in the emptiness between the dull blocks. If you haven’t looked into the ugliest courtyard, you don’t know Berlin.Includes
