With the Trabi through Berlin – A nostalgic journey through the history and present of the capital

In the heart of Europe, an extraordinary tour takes visitors on an unforgettable journey through time. In Berlin, where history meets modernity, you can experience a special ride – with the Trabi, the symbol of German post-war history. Here our adventure begins, with the Trabi through Berlin.




The Trabi, affectionately so called and actually known as Trabant, shaped the streets of the GDR. With its unique shape and colorful duroplast shell, it is a true relic of the Eastern Bloc. Although it is not known for its speed or comfort, it is an unmistakable symbol of German history and innovation.

The tour starts at the famous Checkpoint Charlie, once the most famous border crossing between East and West Berlin. Here, in this legendary Trabi, you can already sense the historical significance while seeing the Berlin life pulsating around you.

Drive the Trabi along the Spree, where you pass the Berlin Cathedral and the magnificent Bellevue Palace. The scent of freshly baked pretzels and the chatter of the lively Berlin streets accompany you as the cozy Trabi persistently finds its way. The ride over the elegant Friedrichstraße, lined with chic boutiques and world-famous theaters, forms a contrast to the robust charm of the Trabi.

On the tour, Berlin shows its dazzling facets. You pass by the Brandenburg Gate, the symbol of German unity. Here you can feel the heartbeat of Berlin, a pulsating metropolis with a deeply rooted history.

From the Brandenburg Gate, the Trabi tour continues to the Victory Column, another historical landmark. A glance through the window of your Trabi offers a magnificent view of the Tiergarten, Berlin's green lung.

Another stop on this journey is Alexanderplatz, which offers a breathtaking view of the city with the world-famous TV tower. The rattling of the Trabi engine blends here with the urban soundtrack of Berlin, a mix of street music, bustling hustle and bustle, and the laughter of passing people.

Finally, it goes back to the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall. The colorful graffiti and the silence that this powerful wall exudes, despite its history, touch every visitor. The Trabi tour ends here, with the ride in the historical vehicle providing a more profound understanding and a new perspective on the city.
