Young, edgy East Berlin — the longest surviving stretch of the Wall, riverside clubs (including the legendary Berghain nearby), cheap eats and student energy. A bit rough, a lot of fun; where to stay for the clubs and the Wall.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 3.The East Side Gallery — The longest surviving stretch of the Berlin Wall, a 1.3km run of it turned into an open-air gallery — 100-odd murals including the famous socialist 'fraternal kiss'. The most powerful, and most photographed, piece of the Wall left standing.
- 12.Berlin's techno clubs — Berlin is the world capital of techno, and its temple is Berghain — a former power station where the party runs from Saturday night deep into Monday. Notoriously tough on the door; if it's not your scene, the city is full of other clubs that are.
