Description

Ride Berlin’s iconic U1 and experience the city as it actually moves. We hop on and off the elevated line to trace its East-to-West story—from former border zones to today’s creative hotspots. Grab a Späti beer and wander through vibrant districts filled with street art, Turkish influences, queer history, and migrant food culture. Explore architectural highlights, including a Brutalist church packed with modern art, learn where the bohemians of the 1920s once turned night into day, and discover other hidden gems. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of Berlin’s divided past, squats and clubs, and the everyday life that grew around the “party line” U1—immortalized in the famous Pet Shop Boys song “Will-o’-the-wisp.” In four hours, you’ll cross multiple worlds “in search of love and laughter,” experiencing Berlin’s contrasts, communities, and hidden gems from a local perspective, as the scenery shifts from gritty streets to grand avenues. Einsteigen bitte!
