Taking into consideration its history, its culture and its lifestyle we must say that the city of Berlin is without a doubt one of the most attractive cities in the world. Our editors wanted to write a few words about the essential parts of their trip to this city and tell you something about the taste of adventure that this place exudes
Seven neighborhoods to discover
Berlin has numerous neighborhoods and each one of them has its own story and its own charm. Here is a short overview of the seven neighborhoods that we think you have to discover when you get there:
- Mitte – the historical center. It is famous for its prestigious shops and monuments (Brandenburger Tor, Museums Insel, Schlossplxatz …)
- Prenzlauer BergOld East Berlin. It has many bars et restaurants for you to discover and it may energize you with its youthful and relaxed atmosphere.
- Friedrichshain– Former East Berlin Neighborhood. You can let yourself be amazed by the bars and many nightclubs and their bobo atmosphere. The Electro music fans will not be disappointed.
- Kreuzberg & Neukölln – It is the equivalent of USA’s Brooklyn. On one hand is may be considered a bit cosmopolitan on the other hand it may give a youthful vibe. It is a lively district at any time.
- Schöneberg – Old West Berlin. It is a residential and a quiet place, ideal for a family holiday.
- TierGarten – Its name comes from the huge zoo it hosts. It is a chic and modern place and you may discover numerous museums, a zoo, several luxury shops and the magnificent Schöneberg castle.
- Wedding,, like Kreuzberg it is a popular and charming district, but we found it much less lively than the other neighbourhoods. Bonus point: the restaurants are not expensive.
