Unfortunately the trip was cancelled the afternoon before. Then walk around yourself, see a lot and here and there information through QR codes. Even without a guide to do good, especially not forgetting the nooks and crannies, such as the Anne Frank Center, Haus Schwarzenberg and the museum Blindenwerkstatt Otto Weidt.
The guide has partly told interesting information about the backyards. Unfortunately, however, he has also repeatedly brought in personal and derogatory comments, which often made his opinion more prominent than factual facts. We found this uncomfortable and would have liked a more neutral, fact-based leadership.
After admiring the magnificent building of the Neues Synagogue we will explore the set of flirty interconnected courtyards of the Jewish quarter. Now almost all with shops and terraces. First we ate at one of them, it’s not the most flirty, and then we started at the Hackesche Höfe, eight connected courtyards dating back to 1907, although they were reopened in 1996. Then some other and finally the busiest and most photographed, the Dead Chicken Alley, walls full of murals, terraces and groups with guides. Very colorful.
Amazing place to visit to immerse yourself in the Berlin of the past. Airport airlift to supply West Berlin and JFK's speech, “Ich bin ein Berliner”! It was built between 1936 and 1941. 2-hour guided tour, in English or German only. (be really comfortable in one of these languages).
