Top Experiences in Oberbaum Bridge (Oberbaumbrücke)

This self-guided GPS audio tour tells the story of Berlin’s first “elevated U-Bahn line” known as Hochbahn Stammstrecke built by Siemens & Halske at the end of the 19th century.

The tour begins at the station “Warschauer Straße” in Friedrichshain and continues down Oberbaumbrücke, an 1896 bridge connecting Friedrichshain with Berlin-Kreuzberg and spanning the River Spree. Then it continues along the beautiful steel viaduct down Skalitzer Straße, Gitschiner Straße, Hallesches Ufer and Tempelhofer Ufer towards today's U-Bahnhof “Gleisdreick” where the eastern branch of the original elevated line ended.

You will need a valid BVG Day-Ticket or a single ticket (Einzelfahrschein) valid for 2 hours along a single route. Validate it before boarding the train and keep it on you for the whole tour. Do not throw the ticket away!

The audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

Capture the best of Berlin by walking through the city during this photography-focused exploration. Shoot the Berlin Wall, from Potsdamer Platz, past Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag building and end up with some classic shots of Alexanderplatz with a professional photographer in tow to help you with all your technical settings and to unleash your creative side. All the while, you will demystify your camera's complexities and learn how to capture the perfect shot with your own camera.

This private lesson teaches photography skills and encourages your creativity and photographic development. Whether you are just starting, a hobbyist or have years of experience, our team of professional photographers will find excellent photographic opportunities for all kinds of interests for you to shoot, from landmarks and people watching to hidden secrets and great views over the city. Take advantage of the one-on-one experience of our private and personalized tour to develop your own creative vision.

In contrast to bus tours, on an individual taxi sightseeing tour you have the opportunity to stop almost everywhere - be it for a photo shoot, be it for a snack or a break, be it for a coffee. Or for a longer tour to take a closer look at an object or to have it explained to you (Berlin Cathedral, Hackesche Höfe, Brandenburg Gate, Gendarmenmarkt, Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, KaDeWe are recommended, for example). According to your interests and wishes! And in contrast to a walking tour, you don't just see a tiny section of our city. So combine the best of both perspectives with a taxi tour, just like I've always done with friends and relatives. Here you can immerse yourself in Berlin districts (Kieze) such as Kreuzberg or Friedrichshain. And enjoy the luxury of being picked up personally from your accommodation in the S-Bahn-Ring. And all in a real Berlin luxury taxi SUV!

This immersive tour of the counterculture in East Berlin takes you beyond the typical tourist sites to discover more than Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie, into the city’s lesser-known treasure troves of Cold War subterfuge and dissent. On the banks of the Spree River, Friedrichshain’s art installations include everything from concrete mixers and barbed wire to 1960s newsreels. Stroll Boxhagener Platz and Revaler Strasse to see Soviet-era buildings, GDR-era relics, the longest surviving stretch of the Berlin Wall, and the East Side Gallery. Experience the artsy Friedrichshain district with its diverse subcultures and storied past.

In contrast to bus trips, with an individual city tour you have the opportunity to stop almost everywhere - be it for a photo shoot, be it for a snack or break, be it for a coffee. Or for a longer tour to take a closer look at an object or to have it explained (e.g. Topography of Terror, Checkpoint Charly, Hackesche Höfe, Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Palace/Humboldt Forum). According to your interests and wishes! And unlike a walking tour, you don't just see a tiny part of our city. Here you can still immerse yourself in Berlin districts (Kieze) such as Kreuzberg or Friedrichshain. On this tour we have relaxed time even for extra destinations such as Charlottenburg Palace, Tempelhof Airport, Wall Memorial or the Soviet War Memorial in Treptow Harbour. And enjoy the luxury of being picked up personally from your accommodation in the S-Bahn ring. And all in a real Berlin luxury SUV!
