The rickshaw glides through a patchwork of streets, the hum of trams and distant chatter folding into the city’s rhythm as storefronts and market stalls slide past. Wrapped in a blanket under a small roof, you sit low enough to feel the cobblestones and high enough to see the façades—KaDeWe’s glassy edges, the youthful chaos of Mauerpark, the ordered lines of Friedrichstraße.
