Left: Practical joke? Artistic statement? Mutant act of god? Whatever this trash monster represents, it's definitely got our eye (pardon the pun...)










Right: No corner of the city gets neglected by Berlin's restless street artists, as illustrated in this photo!

Below: Berlin awaits August for its chance to march - and dance - to the beat of the 'Fuck Parade', an alternative parade which started in 1997 to protest the Love Parade. About 15,000 attended this year's event, which comprised dozens of techno, disco and hardcore gabba floats.

K.I.S.S. (Keep It Small & Simple)

Finding underground venues in Berlin is not the only challenge to short-term visitors; getting in can also be a problem, especially for large groups on a traditional bar crawl or nightlife tour. For this reason, Unscene Berlin Tours only operates small tours with groups of five or less people. That way, the guide can get to know the group on a one-on-one basis and ensure that they end up at where they want... as well as where they are wanted! Small group sizes also mean that you have direct access to a knowledgeable guide for the duration of the tour, who can give you tips and advice for the rest of your stay in Berlin.

Berlin's first underground tour company is here!

Berlin nightlife is understated, exciting and vast. In one night you can listen to techno on a beach, visit a squatted art gallery and have a drink in a subterranean bar - all before sunrise. But with venues dotted around a sprawling city, it can be difficult for the short-term visitor to crack Berlin's elusive underground scene. This is where Unscene Berlin Tours comes in.
Unscene Berlin Tours offers the intrepid traveler a taste of underground Berlin. Gigs, clubs or festivals; bars, graffiti art or squats - if it is off the beaten track and you want to see it, then Unscene Berlin can take you there.
