What we will do in this experience
Step into the spirited soul of Berlin’s football culture with an unforgettable journey to the home of 1. FC Union Berlin—where passion, community, and tradition pulse louder than stadium chants. This immersive experience invites football lovers, urban explorers, and curious travellers to go beyond the surface and connect with the city through one of its most beloved clubs.
Your adventure begins in the district of Köpenick, a charming, historic part of East Berlin where cobbled streets and old-world charm set the tone. Here, you’ll feel the heartbeat of the community that built Union from the ground up—literally. Locals helped rebuild the Stadion An der Alten Försterei with their own hands, a story of resilience and love that defines what Union is all about.
As you approach the stadium, you’ll walk in the footsteps of generations of fans who live and breathe Eisern Union. Inside, you’ll tour the stands where the most loyal supporters sing for 90 minutes straight, discover behind-the-scenes secrets, and stand on the pitch where fairy tales have come to life—like Union’s rise to the Bundesliga against all odds.
But this isn’t just a tour—it’s a cultural deep dive. You’ll visit the club museum, filled with artefacts that tell stories of defiance, solidarity, and East German football history. From Union’s underdog spirit during the GDR era to its modern-day ascent, every display is a window into the soul of a club that represents more than sport—it represents identity, independence, and pride.
Exclusive stadium access, including VIP areas and player zones
A local expert host who shares real fan stories, club history, and hidden anecdotes. Whether you’re a lifelong football enthusiast or simply want to understand Berlin from the inside out, this journey is more than a stadium visit—it’s a powerful connection to the values of loyalty, grit, and community that define this incredible club.
Come for the football. Stay for the family. Leave with Union in your heart.
