- Kaufhaus des Westens (KaDeWe) - Another notable Berlin landmark featured in Bowie’s tribute to Berlin, “Where Are We Now?”. He frequently shopped for groceries at this historic department store.
- Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten - The infamous Christiane F. was an avid David Bowie fan. She and her friends often spent time at Zoo Station, which was quite rundown back then. Things have changed! In the film adaptation of her book, Bowie’s music is prominently featured as he generously allowed the use of his songs for the soundtrack.
- Hansa Studios - This is where Bowie recorded much of his “Berlin Trilogy”. It’s a great opportunity to capture photos of this legendary studio and enjoy the fantastic GIF-animation of him in one of their windows!
- Nürnberger Str. 53 - The former site of the Dschungel, a popular spot where Bowie was frequently seen. Although the Dschungel is no longer there, the location remains!
- Hauptstraße 155 - Bowie’s previous residence! Take a moment to admire the building where Bowie lived for nearly three years from 1976 to 1978. Fans often leave flowers or candles on a ledge, as if the building’s architect foresaw that a famous musician would reside here, allowing admirers to pay their respects.
- Neues Ufer - “Neues Ufer”, formerly “Anderes Ufer”, is a local gay bar where Bowie often visited for a nightcap, as it was open 24/7. Enjoying a drink here is optional, and many visitors choose to do so after the tour.
