About this tour
This session moves along Kreuzberg's Turkish Market, from the canal-side food stalls to a stall selling fabric and household goods. You see specific produce, spices and breads brought in from the district's Turkish and Middle Eastern communities. The session finishes at the textile stall, part of a market that has run on the same twice-weekly schedule for decades.
We open with a short sound check at the market's edge, since it can be lively. I move slowly along the stalls and take questions about specific foods and the market's history throughout. Afterwards I send a short note on what we saw and where to find it again.
This suits anyone curious about Kreuzberg's food culture and its communities. It also works well alongside a longer canal walk nearby.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them

Not included

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Berlin, showing you Canal-side market stalls and A fabric and textile stall live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
