What to expect

When David Bowie moved to Berlin in 1976, he found an island of Cold War angst, “Cut off from its world, art, and culture, dying with no hope of retribution.” This Bowie in Berlin tour takes you back to the decadent 1970s city that inspired Bowie's classic Berlin trilogy albums: Low, Heroes, and Lodger. Bowie's Berlin was a kaleidoscope of creativity and a break from the public eye that he had grown tired of in Los Angeles, while also undergoing various legal battles with his management.<div><br>Starting at West Berlin's Cold War opulent heart, Zoo Station, you will follow Bowie's trail including the flat he shared with Iggy Pop in Schöneberg, a neighborhood once known for its acceptance of outsiders and minorities.

Discover how this all contributed to what many consider to be Bowie's creative peak at the legendary Hansa recording studios overlooking the Berlin Wall.</div><div><br>Visited sites: Bahnhof Zoo, former Dschungel Club, KaDeWe, Potsdamer Platz, Hansa Studios, Berlin Wall, Topographie of Terror, Bowie’s former home, Neues Ufer Café.</div>
