Bülowstraße is one of Berlin’s most controversial quarters. Street prostitution, drugs and social housing sit side by side here with contemporary art galleries and upmarket new-builds.
It is here that the city’s transformation is particularly evident: a neighbourhood with a troubled reputation is gradually becoming a major cultural hub, whilst street art is evolving into a catalyst for urban change. This walking tour offers an unvarnished view of Berlin. It explores a neighbourhood where social issues, art, big money and efforts to improve the city all coexist side by side.
