Berlin video city walk

Berlin is spread out in a way that punishes the highlight reel. The distances between the things people come for are long, and what fills them is the actual city: wide streets, gaps where buildings used to be, courtyards, six lanes of tram and bicycle. Walking it is slow and the scenery changes less often than in a dense old town, which is exactly why it works as a window. The city reveals itself by accumulation rather than by arrival.

Common questions

Which part of Berlin do the walks cover?

The central districts, on foot along the main boulevards and through the side streets and courtyards between them. No transport hops: the distances are walked.

Does the picture fill the whole window?

Yes. The video is scaled to cover the browser window, so it crops rather than showing black bars, whatever the shape of your screen.
