Berlin: Why it all moves to Kreuzberg and Neukölln
A short trip to Berlin is booked quickly, one might say. But already during the overnight stay the question arises: which quarter should it be? According to a survey by the holiday home search engine "HomeToGo", a quarter is at the top of the Berlin list. But especially second place surprised.
From Kreuzberg to Friedrichshain and back again
Top values gets Kreuzberg. This is not surprising, after all, the district has blossomed in the last few years to Trendviertel and scores especially in terms of clubs and bars. But also yoga lovers will get their money's worth there. Nowhere else in Berlin are there as many yoga studios as in Kreuzberg.
Just behind it on the popularity scale is Neukölln. The artist and tattoo scene is diversified here. But also the Turkish market on Maybachufer is worth a detour. Those who prefer to immerse themselves in Berlin's museum landscapes, do everything right with Berlin-Mitte. The Museum Island attracts with the old National Gallery, the Bode and of course the Pergamon Museum. No wonder that the museum score gives the full score and thus third place in the ranking.
Among the top five, Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain have also made it. Already in GDR times, students, cultural initiatives and writers shaped the image of Prenzlauer Berg. After the fall of the Wall, the district became more popular and impresses with its distinctive nightlife with pubs, cafés and clubs.
Anyway, there is no way around the East Side Gallery if you go on a flying visit to the capital. Practically, if you have the right quarter in Friedrichshain accommodation and the way is not far. From the bustling Friedrichshain you can also make a beautiful walk. With the Oberbaumbrücke the path leads across the Spree back to the "In-Viertel" par excellence - Kreuzberg.
