Unusual things to do in Berlin
You want an evening that is not another dinner and not another walking tour — something with a story in it, for two people or a small group of friends on a weekend away.
Why Berlin works for this
The Hackesche courtyards run one into another, so following a trail through them feels like being let through a series of doors.
How the evening runs
Two hours through Mitte's courtyards, finishing near Rosenthaler Platz.
Routes here run through Mitte, the Hackesche courtyards and the streets around Rosenthaler Platz. Hosting is available in English and German.
