City guides

A starting point for a walk.

Berlin: courtyards and canals

Look beyond the main streets for courtyard passages and quiet waterside paths. Notice how old masonry and modern additions share the same blocks.

Hamburg: brick and water

The warehouse district offers a useful introduction to the city’s relationship with water. Bridges, loading doors and small details tell the story as clearly as the skyline.

Leipzig: passages and public squares

Covered passages connect busy streets with calmer interiors. Take time to look up at the façades and the changing materials beneath your feet.
