Berlin map and area information
Berlin is unique in Europe, in that its metropolitan area is extremely spread out, with huge greenspaces and undeveloped areas. Berlin is loved for its tranquil and at times, industrial beauty. Each district has its own culture, meaning that suburbia is just as interesting as central Mitte.
In Berlin, expect to use the U-Bahn or S-Bahn, to efficiently whisk you across the city. Using a bike to get around is also ideal, as the city is flat and you can get your bearings. Have a look at the area guide for more on Berlin's central areas.
BERLIN NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA GUIDE
Mitte
Mitte is Berlin’s vast central zone, encompassing some of the liveliest “downtown” areas such as:
Alexanderplatz. This central square boasts the TV Tower and is located minutes from Museum Island.
Hackescher Markt. Historically a market area, there are many artsy cafés, busy with the young and hip, as well as design and vintage stores and alternative galleries.
Nordbahnhof. With a backdrop of Berlin’s fabulous TV tower, you’ll find quality restaurants along the river Spree and the Tacheles factory for art and nightlife.
Checkpoint Charlie. South in Mitte towards the old divide, you’ll find the Gendarmenmarkt and typical skyrise buildings, or shopping on Friedrichstraβe.
Prenzlauer Berg
Prenzlauer Berg is Berlin’s undisputed hangout for the hip socialites of the city. Just a short journey from Hackescher Markt, Alexanderplatz or the Volkspark, Prenzlauer Berg has art, culture, vintage shopping and a laid-back vibe.
This is Berlin’s über-trendy district, a favourite with young crowds and artsy types who frequent its terrace cafés, kitsch boutiques and alternative-style bars around Kollwitzplatz, or the Kulturbrauerei, an old brewery with shops and nightlife. Nearby Volkspark Friedrichshain has a lake, fairytale fountain, film showings and beergardens.
Friedrichshain
Formerly Berlin's eastern part on the Berlin Wall divide, the Friedrichshain area is well-known for its hugely cultural Volkspark Friedrichshain, its art scene and Berliner brunching.
Frankurter Allee is a broad avenue popular for shopping, there are hip bars and nightlife south in the district, or flea markets and trendy brunch cafés around Boxhagener Platz.
Great public transport connections mean that favourites such as Berlin’s TV tower, shopping in Hackescher Markt or the Reichstag and Brandenburg gate are 10 minutes away.
Kreuzberg
Bordering Friedrichshain in Berlin's old West, Kreuzberg is famous for its contemporary multi-kulti vibe and an array of trendy bars, alternative discos and Berlin's revered industrial nightclubs. Around Oranienstraße and Oranienplatz you will find bakeries, Turkish eateries and local café bars, or visit the galleries and design boutiques in the area.
Southern Kreuzberg is great for walks along the canal, bars around Bergmannstraße or a trip to Viktoriapark, with a waterfall monument at its crest and superb city views.
