About Alternative Berlin

20 Years Independent. Still Young. Still Wild. Still Professional.

Alternative Berlin is one of the original independent English speaking tour companies in Berlin. For over 20 years we have guided visitors through the city’s underground culture, street art, and alternative history.

We started when Berlin was raw, experimental and full of creative chaos. Artists, activists, musicians, and urban pioneers shaped the city we know today. We did not arrive later to explain Berlin. We were already part of it.

Our Philosophy

Berlin is not just a city of landmarks. It is a city of rebellion, reinvention, and cultural experimentation. The fall of the Berlin Wall created space for:

Street art
Squats and autonomous spaces
Underground music and nightlife
Political activism and counterculture
International creative communities

Our tours explain how underground culture shaped modern Berlin and why the city remains Europe’s capital of creative freedom.

What Makes Our Tours Different

Most Berlin tours focus on monuments. We focus on movements. Instead of only visiting landmarks, we explore:

Berlin street art and graffiti culture
Squats and autonomous communities
Counterculture and political activism
The fall of the Berlin Wall and its social impact
Gentrification and urban transformation
Hidden histories behind famous neighborhoods

Our goal is not just sightseeing. Our goal is understanding Berlin.
