Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

3tx (short for three-wheeled taxi) offers individual sightseeing tours in Berlin's most modern electric rickshaws. We operate all-year, rain or shine. We pick you up at your hotel and finish our tour when and where you like. Our experienced, native guides show you around. Our rickshaws are legally bicycles, that means we can also go through the Brandenburg Gate and most parks - and not just around. You can always hop off for a photo, and back on as soon as you're finished. Your guide is always with you, so he or she can take the pictures for you! As of 2017, our private tours costs 48 € per rickshaw and hour (e.g. 24 € per person when in a group of 2). Pick-up from all central locations in included in all tours of more than 2 hours, or 9,95 € for tours of up to 2 hours. What do we consider central? Everything from Savignyplatz west of the Zoo until "Am Friedrichshain" tram stop east of Alexanderplatz; And from the Poststadion north of the Central Station until Yorckstr. in the south.

We were walking around Berlin and after visiting the Russian memorial were heading to the Brandenburg Gate when we spotted this memorial plaque on the pavement. We stopped to take a look and found it was a memorial to Ronald Reagan a former American president. It was unveiled on 19 September 2012 so fairly recent. It commemorates Ronald Reagans speech made at the Brandenburg Gate where he stated Tear Down This Wall in a speech on 1987 when no one believed this would happen. While we were looking at it a local man stopped and asked us what we were looking at and said he had never noticed it before! Worth looking out for.
