You step off the tram into Mitte and the city opens like a workable map: a tram rumbles, the Spree glints between buildings, and graffiti-strewn fragments of the Wall dare you to read their history. A local host meets you and, instead of a fixed route, offers a plan shaped by your interests — cold-war relics, modern architecture, or the best currywurst stand.
