About this tour
This session takes in two of Berlin's outdoor spaces, from a park hill with a view over the rooftops to a park where Berliners spend their weekends rather than tourists. The camera looks outward at the skyline first, then turns to everyday park life. Both stops focus on how the city looks and feels away from its monuments.
The call opens with a short sound check before moving between the two spots, leaving time for questions about what is on screen. A short list of the parks and the best times to visit them follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants a calmer side of Berlin than the historic centre, whether they are planning a visit or just want fresh air on screen for an hour. It also works for anyone who already knows the landmarks and wants to see how the city breathes.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Berlin before heading out.
-
Park hill viewpoint 21 min
The first stop is a hill inside one of Berlin's parks, high enough to see rooftops stretch out in every direction. The guide explains why locals prefer this spot to the crowded, ticketed viewing platforms in the centre.
-
Weekend park 21 min
The second stop is a park where Berliners spend their weekends, with room to walk, sit or cycle rather than sightsee. The guide points out what is happening nearby and explains the best time of day to come back for the light.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Berlin: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Königsberger Klopse and Kreuzberg, worth a slower look.

- Sessions run in small groups, up to 12 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
