What to expect
Potsdamer Platz
This iconic square went from bustling hub to wasteland and back to being a bustling hub yet again! Bowie sings about this square in his 2012 song, "Where are We Now?", and on tour, we are tracing the places and Berlin haunts Bowie sings about in his song. Potsdamer Platz is one of them!
Kaufhaus Des Westens
Another famous Berlin landmark Bowie sings about in his homage to Berlin, "Where are We Now?". He used to buy his groceries in this famous department store, one that is deeply steeped in history.
Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten
The notorious Christiane F. was a huge David Bowie fan. Along with her friends she hung about Zoo Station, which back in the day, was a dingy place indeed. Times have changed! In the movie based on her book, Bowie's music can be heard throughout as he provided the soundtrack, or rather, allowed the producer and the director to use his songs.
Hansa Studios
This is where Bowie recorded the better part (literally!) of his "Berlin Trilogy". That's you opportunity to take pictures of this iconic studio and admire the fabulous GIF-animation of him in one of their windows!
Nürnberger Str. 53
Former location of the Dschungel, one of the hang-outs where Bowie could be found almost every night. Though the Dschungel no longer exists, the location where it used to be, does!
Hauptstraße 155
Bowie's former home! Here's your chance to take a good look at the building Bowie called his home for almost 3 years between 1976 and 1978. There are always flowers or candles, etc. outside placed on a ledge, a ledge that is part of this turn-of-the-century building, so as if the building's architect had known, that about 70 years later a famous musician would one day live here, for fans and admirers to pay their respects!
Neues Ufer
"Neues Ufer"/ formerly "Anderes Ufer", a local gay bar where Bowie hung out a lot, usually to take a night cap as back then, this bar was open 24/7. Having a drink here is optional, and many customers choose to have one after the tour.
