Walking tour of Berlin’s blockbusters

Description
Berlin doesn’t just tell stories—it stars in them. With over 5,000 film shoots a year, Germany’s capital is a backdrop for everything from Oscar-winning dramas to action-packed thrillers. On this engaging walking tour through Berlin’s cinematic heart, you’ll visit the real-world locations where cult classics and Hollywood hits were brought to life.
From the corner where Victoria disappeared into the night, to the apartment courtyard where red-haired Lola began her frantic run, and even the Berlin streets that stood in for London in The Ghost Writer, you’ll trace the steps of movie legends. Your guide—part historian, part film aficionado—shares fun facts, industry insights, and a behind-the-scenes look at why filmmakers can’t get enough of Berlin.
And with generous local funding supporting the city’s film scene, there’s always a chance you'll pass an active set during the tour. It’s Berlin like you’ve never seen it—through the lens of the big screen.
