Berlin

Leafy & local

Prenzlauer Berg

6 min · 2.5 km from the centre

The gentrified east — beautifully restored old streets, leafy squares, brunch cafés, a Sunday flea market and young families. Calm, pretty and safe-feeling, with plenty of good local food and a quick tram down to Mitte. An easy, comfortable base.

  • 10.Mauerpark & the flea marketA Sunday institution on the old death strip — a big flea market of vintage and junk, buskers, and a legendary outdoor karaoke in the amphitheatre where hundreds cheer strangers on. Grab a beer, find a spot on the grass, and soak up Berlin at play.
  • 13.The Berlin Wall MemorialOn Bernauer Straße, the one place that preserves the Wall as it really was — a surviving section with the death strip, watchtower and border installations intact, plus a moving open-air documentation of the families it split. The Wall, properly explained.
  • 14.A Berlin beer gardenWhen the sun's out, the city decamps to the biergarten — long benches under the chestnut trees, a cold Pils or a Berliner Weisse with a shot of syrup, and pretzels and sausages. Prater in Prenzlauer Berg is the oldest; find any and settle in.
