Mitte, Berlin’s central neighbourhood, is the ideal locale for visitors who want a true tourist experience of Berlin, as many of its top attractions and landmarks are located here. Stay near Alexanderplatz, the neighbourhood’s central square if access to transport is also a priority.
For those who want to immerse in the cooler, more cultural side of Berlin, rather than Mitte’s commercial side, then head to Prenzlauer Berg on the northeastern side of the city centre. This neighbourhood, bursting with bohemian energy, is where you’ll find the city’s alternative boutiques, breweries, bars, and cafes.
Kreuzberg, located south of the Spree, is an urban student-centric area known for its street art, thrift shops, and cafes during the day, and its booming party scene at night.
East Belrin’s Friedrichshain neighbourhood is one of the hippest yet least expensive Berlin neighbourhoods, as it has only started to establish itself in recent years. It is home to a number of the city’s biggest underground clubs, as well as creative art complexes, markets, and even organic farms.
Meanwhile, on Berlin’s west side, Charlottenburg is a wholesome and refined neighbourhood with an upscale shopping boulevard and plenty of green spaces, making it the go-to destination for families.
Berlin is conveniently connected by an efficient underground train system, making it easy to explore the city wherever you decide to stay.
