Berlin for Art Lovers
Berlin is a wonderful city to visit any time of the year and you’ll never be stuck for something to do. It has developed into an artist’s haven during recent years and keeps any artists wide eyed. The city caters for all tastes- modern, classic, abstract and much more. Whether you are an artist, art lover or just looking for something fun to do, Berlin won’t disappoint.
Firstly, I recommend anyone going to Berlin to check out the Alternative Berlin tours. They have a great range of tours. I specifically recommend the Street Art Tour of Berlin. Due to its nature the street art in Berlin is constantly changing and it would be difficult to find all the best pieces by yourself. Alternative Berlin tours give a great tour around the city’s hotspots for street art. Berlin is one of the capitals for street art worldwide and it would be a waste not to have a look while you’re in town.
GoArt is a great company to look up while in Berlin if you are interested in contemporary or modern art. Tours can be arranged for individuals or groups and are of top class quality. They organise specialized events such as a visit to an emerging art studio or to a new artist. They really try to cater for everyone’s needs. They seem to know of great things to see first and you will always be kept interested by the truly great guides.
If you truly adore art, I would recommend booking your trip to Berlin during an Art Festival. Although the festival changes dates, ‘Based in Berlin’ was held in June and July this year and is likely to be held at the same time in 2012. The festival is a celebration of art in Berlin with events all over the city. It shows films, concerts and exhibits so it really shows a great variety of what’s on offer.
Finally I would say that a visit to the Kunstgewerbe-museum is an absolute must. This museum shows a very varied array of work and is a beautiful way to spend the day. It is architecturally beautiful also. There is a wide variety of museums in Berlin so why not visit a few during your trip. Some of the best are Brucke, Kathe Kollwitz and George Kolbe. So if you are a true art lover, spend some time visiting the attractions and tours mentioned above and you will have a wonderful trip to Berlin.
