East Berlin is a melting pot, and we've crafted an itinerary that explores the foods, events, and people shaping the artistic neighborhood of Friedrichshain. Once divided by the Berlin Wall, this area now symbolizes unity and transformation. Walking these streets, you'll experience the cultural fusion born from both sides of history.
We’ll visit six food stops that highlight Berlin's diverse cuisine.
From new Middle Eastern dishes from 2015 refugees, to Schwarma Doner Kebab to unique Vietnamese TyTy Tacos, blending Vietnamese flavors with German ingredients, along with three different beers. A mix of food, history, and culture, this tour reveals the true essence of Berlin.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The easiest way to arrive is via Ostkreuz Station. Exit Ostkreuz Station by going down the set of stairs on the left just in front of the McDonald's. You leave the platform using the first right turn and continue walking straight along Neue Bahnhofstrasse until you reach the meeting point, Haroun.
The tour ends at the East Side Gallery, which is within a 5-minute walk of the Warschauer S- and U-Bahn Station
