Om den här aktiviteten
When David Bowie moved to Berlin in 1976, he found an island of Cold War angst, “cut off from its world, art and culture, dying with no hope of retribution.” This tour takes you back to the decadent 1970’s city that inspired Bowie’s classic Berlin albums Low, Heroes and Lodger. Starting at Cold War West Berlin’s decadent heart, Zoo Station, we follow Bowie’s trail to the flat he shared with Iggy Pop, the clubs they partied in and the legendary Hansa recording studios where Bowie’s music reached its creative peak.

Sites visited on this tour usually include:
• Bahnhof Zoo
• former Dschungel Club
• KaDeWe
• Potsdamer Platz
• Hansa Studios
• Berlin Wall
• Topographie of Terror
• Bowie’s former home
• Neues Ufer café

We had a fabulous time seeing all of Bowie’s haunts on this tour. Our guide, Darrell, was great and was as passionate about the man, his inspirations and music, as we were. He went out of his way to accommodate us after being waylaid in our original meeting due to the Berlin Gay Pride events. A fantastic experience which we highly recommend if you are a Bowie fan. Thank you!

The Bowie tour was not just an insightful tour of Bowie's musical influences and important locations during his career in Berlin, but was told within the cultural and historical context of Berlin, Germany and the world at that time. This made it a really interesting tour and exploration of the city. Highly recommended even for those that aren't super fans.

The Bowie tour was a exploration of the city and cultural influences that inspired Bowie's works. A must for any Bowie fan who wants to know more about the rich intertwining history of Berlin and Bowie.

I’m a huge Bowie fan so I was really excited to take this tour — thankfully, it did not disappoint. Our guide Peter knew a ton about Bowie, his musical influences and the significance of the so-called Berlin years, and he did an incredible job of explaining Bowie’s music in the context of the Cold War. We saw the legendary Hansa Studios, Potsdamer Platz, sections of the Berlin Wall, the Topography of Terror, Zoo Station and other culturally significant sites. Peter had a little speaker with him so we could listen to songs at relevant points on the tour, and he had various other props — including Christopher Isherwood’s “Goodbye to Berlin” and an old map of divided Berlin — to help us better understand Cold War-era Berlin. My personal highlight has got to be standing in the entrance of the Schöneberg apartment building where Bowie and Iggy Pop both lived. I definitely recommend this tour to any Bowie or music fans visiting the city.
