Hackescher Markt Tours and Activities
4,254 Reviews
Free admission
Berlin's Hackescher Markt is a lively, open-air plaza by day and a portal to the city's bustling club scene by night. Luckily, its central Mitte District location makes it easy to visit twice. The square encompasses the area outside thebeautiful, red-brickHackescher Markt Station, where farmers' markets, bars, restaurants, and cafes spill out into the car-free courtyard and make for a popular hang-out in summer. Souvenir shops, high fashion retail stores, and eccentric, alternative outfitters mark the surrounding area as a shopping hotspot year-round, so grab a currywurst to-go and take off to explore the neighborhood.
Rebuilt after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the now artsy and energetic Scheunenviertel neighborhood brings hip residences, music venues, art galleries, boutiques, and nightclubs to Mitte. Head north for the art galleries on Augustraße or east for shopping along Rosenthalerstraße—and don't miss Berlin's famous courtyards, the Hackesche Höfe, just in front of the square.
Many walking tours depart from Hackescher Markt Station, but not all spend time in the square. To get the most out of your visit, choose a tour that explores Berlin's modern history or Mitte District—or give yourself enough time before your tour to explore the area on your own.

Private taxi tour through the City East history and architecture approx 1h
1
What is special is that you are driven around in your own comfort SUV by a local guide who has lived in Berlin for over 20 years. The personal touch, lots of information and anecdotes are guaranteed!
You can also determine what interests you more, where you also want to get off or what you simply want to leave out! That is the big difference to the bus tour; quite apart from the fact that it cannot stop everywhere and each stop takes a lot of time. You also have the opportunity to see the entire City East, and not just a very small section of it, as on tours. Berlin is very extensive, has many other centers in addition to these two, and depending on your interests, we can take a stroll in the Hackesche Höfe or at the Wall Memorial.
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!
