What to expect

Join me (Natalie), a passionate local guide and former architect and urban designer, for a bespoke architecture tour around Berlin. With Bauhaus and Modernism as well as Nazi and Communist architecture making up the streetscape, Berlin is a patchwork of architectural eras and styles. On this customisable tour, you can choose your focus or let me create an itinerary tailored to your interests.

Whether you’re a design professional, a student or a general architecture enthusiast, this tour takes you on a deep dive into Berlin’s history and the architecture that emerged as a result. Drawing on my own knowledge as a former architect, I’ll show you some of the city’s defining buildings and design movements, from stark, utilitarian Communist buildings through to cutting-edge buildings shaping Berlin’s modern skyline

Through the lens of architecture, you’ll discover the relationship between Berlin’s history and urban environment, unravelling how events, politics, and ideas have shaped Berlin’s structure, form, and appearance.

This tour can be done as a walking tour or with a private driver (suitable for groups up to 6) and is available as a 2-hour, half day or full day tour to suit your schedule. Interested in a private car tour? Simply get in touch!
