This three-hour walking tour in East Berlin covers the area's history and food, guided by a local English-speaking expert from Eating Europe. The tour begins with a tasting of a traditional Berlin-style Döner Kebab paired with a Club Mate drink. Next, participants visit a Syrian-Levantine restaurant to try metabal and Mezze, accompanied by a homebrewed beer, while learning about the impact of immigrant communities on Berlin’s culture. The route passes one of the last remaining Berlin Squat Houses, known for hosting political, educational, and musical events. The group then stops at a Vietnamese street food venue to sample a TyTy Taco filled with marinated chicken, pickled onions, and sweetcorn. The tour continues through a former imperial rail yard and Soviet factory complex that now contains art galleries, music labels, nightclubs, beer gardens, a bouldering hall, and Berlin’s largest indoor skate park. Participants visit the city’s most famous currywurst stand to taste currywurst served with casing and hear about its invention and local significance. The final food stop is a Turkish nuts and sweets shop offering freshly mixed caramelized nuts as a sweet treat. Along the way, the tour passes the East Side Gallery, a 1.3-mile open-air art gallery featuring political murals painted on the longest surviving section of the Berlin Wall. Included are tastings of Berlin craft beers from a brewery that started in a garage, local specialties from Syrian and Vietnamese cuisines, and the city’s best currywurst. Gratuities, hotel transfers, and extra drinks are not included. Food offerings and stops may vary depending on the day or season.
