When David Bowie moved to Berlin in 1976, he found an island of Cold War angst. This 3-hour tour takes you back to the decadent 1970s in the city that inspired Bowie’s classic Berlin albums Low, Heroes, and Lodger. Starting at the decadent heart of Cold War West Berlin, at Zoo Station, you’ll follow the artist’s trail to the flat he shared with Iggy Pop, to the clubs where they partied, and to the legendary Hansa recording studios, where Bowie’s music reached its creative peak in Berlin. Your tour takes in a variety of sites, including Bahnhof Zoo, the former Dschungel Club, KaDeWe, Potsdamer Platz, Hansa Studios, the Berlin Wall, Topographie of Terror, Bowie’s former home, and the Neues Ufer Café.

Discover Berlin in the 70s and 80s through the eyes of David Bowie and one of his longest-standing companions, the legendary musician Lou Reed, on a self-guided tour with your smartphone. See the places where David lived, loved, partied, shopped or just hung out, where he wrote and recorded songs and gave concerts. Hear David's music at every stop. Walk past striking facades on buildings as well as dark and narrow backyards on this tour. At each location, stop to complete entertaining tasks and answer questions and puzzles — a fun way to spend a day solo, with your partner or friends. Best of all, stop and start your tour whenever suits you, pausing to enjoy a beer or coffee before starting up again. Feel like you're a part of Bowie's life in Berlin every step of the way. Enjoy your time in David Bowie's Berlin! *** Good to know *** You will receive the link to start the tour in an email directly after booking. An internet connection is required to start the tour. The tour is downloaded automatically and can then be used offline. However, as the tour is full of links to music sources and further information, you will need an internet connection during the tour. This tour is so extensive that it can be seen as a day tour. You will be on the road for 6-8 hours to experience everything at your leisure, with short stops for photos or to listen to music. You will visit all the original sites on foot and take the bus or the underground for a few stops in between if the distance is too long. We recommend a day ticket or the "Deutschlandticket" for local public transport.
