Berlin Love Tour Cork City

Playgroup’s fascinating guided tour of Berlin, imagined by walking the streets of Cork city led by a tour guide, is a lot more than a potted history of a city with a troubled past.

With Hilary O’Shaughnessy as the unorthodox guide, about 25 of us are stimulated with information and anecdotes about everything from the Brandenburg Gate to Hitler’s notorious bunker.

Cork becomes Berlin. It is seen through O’Shaughnessy’s observant eye. She confidently introduces us to the trendy Mitte District as we stand on the corner of Liberty Street opposite a bar.
