BThe food of Berlin narrates us all this, with crunchy savory dishes and soft fragrant desserts, from the Prussia of the emperors to the Industrial Revolution, from the Cold War to the present day.
BWith a walking tour that winds through the secret courtyards and trendiest streets of Mitte, the old city center, an English speaking guide will lead you through authentic Berlin cuisine and street food establishments.
BYou will discover, while tasting, why Berlin is known worldwide for its bakery, why the currywurst was born during the Cold War, what was cooked in the GDR, what links Frederick the Great to John Fitzgerald Kennedy, why in Berlin the face of a bear peeps out even from the foam of the cappuccino … and much more.
