 Nollendorfplatz | Berlin is divided into many districts, and most of them have their own centre and main street. The Centre of Berlin consists of the following 8 districs: Schöneberg, Charlottenburg , Wilmersdorf, Mitte, Kreutzberg, Neukölln, Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain. Fuggerstrasse and Nollendorfplatz are in Schöneberg district.
Public transportation in Berlin is very good, and you can easily explore the city by using U- and S-bahn, trams and buses. Public transport is available 24 hours, but is limited between 01 and 04 at night (e.g. night buses replace the U-bahn). A sightseeing boat trip on one of Berlins many canals, is highly recommended.
A green city with lots of space
 Winterfeldt market
Nollendorfplatz | Berlin has recently become one of Europe's most important tourist destinations, with only London and Paris receiving more visitors per year.
Despite the many visitors in Berlin, you don't have the feeling of being in a tourist trap. The city is large, spanning 60 km from North to South, and 60km East to West. This makes Berlin quiet and peaceful, even with its 3.5 million inhabitants.
Wide pavements, green trees, parks and bicycle lanes create the dominant picture of the city. Biking in Berlin is a nice, safe, way of seeing all the city has to offer. Bikes can be rented from several places; the most popular being Deutsche Bahn Rental Bikes which are placed strategically throughout city.
From intimate cafes to the great places of interest
 Café Berio
Nollendorfplatz | Fuggerstrasse is a good area with easy access to all districts and to many of Berlins places of interest. Nollendorfplatz is only 5 minutes away with several U-bahn and bus lines.
Along Massenstrasse, a few meters up the street from Nollendorfplatz, you will find bars, cafes, restaurants, and Winterfeldt Platzt with its brisk market on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
The U-bahn line, U2, from Nollendorfplatz, takes you directly to Potsdamer Platz where you will find some of Europe's biggest cinemas, casinos, restaurants and shopping centres. The annual Berliner Film Festival takes place on Potsdamer Platz in February.
Not far from Potsdamer Platzt, you will find Branderburger Tor, Unter den Linden, Reichstag and Friedrichstrasse where Galleries Lafayette is located.
Nostalgia and history at Alexanderplatz
 Karl Marx Allee/
Frankfurter Allee | U2 takes you directly to Alexanderplatz with its famous TV-tower, and the center of the former East Berlin. Here you will get a strong feeling of being back in GDR time.
The Musemsinsel is close to Alexanderplatz where some of Berlin's most important museums are located, such as the Pergamon, Old National Gallery, Lustgarten and the Old Museum which houses the bust of the world famous Egyptian Queen Nefertiti. With over 160 museums in Berlin, you will not be bored.
From Alexanderplatz, it is only a short walk to Karl Marx Aleé, which was the official parade street of East Berlin. Here you will get the feeling of being back in the Soviet Union and Moscow, with enormous and monumental buildings, all built in Soviet style.
In former times, if an East German wanted an apartment, they would have to participate in its construction, and be a member of the Communist Party.
Cool and alternative Friedrichshain and Kreutzberg
 Boxhagenerplatz | Karl Marx Alleé changes its name to Frankfurter Alleé when it reaches Friedrichshain, the smallest and according to many, the nicest district in town. Look for Simon Dachstrasse where you will find many shops, cafés, bars and interesting venues for food and drink. During the weekend the popular market at Boxhagener Platz is worth a visit; Saturdays are for food and vegetables and there is a flea market on Sundays, all year long.
From Nolledorfplatz you can take the U1 directly to Friedrichshain and to Warschauerstrasse. On the way you will cross Kreutzberg, a colourful district known for the large numbers of international artists, musicians, and Turks who live here. Here you will also find many alternative and interesting bars, cafés, shops and artist studios.
From Kreutzberg to Friedrichshain you can cross the river Spree by foot, or take the U-bahn crossing Oberbaumbrücke. The Oberbaumbrucke bridge provides a stunning view over the Spree river and Berlin's "skyline".
The Berlin Wall
 East Side Gallery | At Warschauerstrasse, which is the last stop on U1, right at Oberbaumbrücke, you will find East Side Gallery. This is the last remaining 500m of the old Berlin Wall. After the wall came down, this part was kept and decorated by artists. Notably, this is the only place in Berlin where the wall went along a trafficked street, where cars were allowed but not pedestrians. Cars were not allowed to stop here, and guards were posted all along the street. Today you can walk from Warschauerstrasse to Ostbahnhof along the wall.
Shopping and zoo around the corner
 Tiergarten | From Fuggerstrasse it takes about 10 minutes to walk to KaDeWe and Kurfürstendamm. KaDeWe is one of the biggest and best department stores in Europe. Kurfürstendamm was the main street in former West Berlin, and here you will find a busy street with everything from exclusive boutiques to high-street shops. Wilmersdorferstrasse is another good shopping street which runs across Kurfürstendamm. Berlin Zoo and aquarium are close to Kurfürstendamm.
The biggest park in Berlin is Tiergarten. The park is worth a visit, and can be reached by bus number 187 from Nollendorfplatz. Taking the bus to the stop called "Nordische Botschaften" at Tiergarten, you can also visit the common embassy for the nordic countries, which is unique in architecture and style.
 Siegessäule |
In the center of Tiergarten you will find Siegessäule, called Gold Else among Berlin people. On the weekends there is a popular antique and flea market on the street called "17. Juni". There are of course many meadows, canals, woods, rosegardens and benches where you can enjoy the silence and the park.
From palaces to lakes
In Charlottenburg, you will find Schloss Charlottenburg, where the wife of Fredrik the Great, Sophie Charlotte lived. Fredrik the Great lived in Potsdam, at the palace of Sanssouci. There is an S-bahn connection to Potsdam, and will take 30 - 40 minutes from Nollendorfplatz.
If you visit Berlin during the summer, you can visit some of the many lakes and beaches around the city, like at Strandbad Wannsee or Strandbad Müggelsee. More information here.
We wish you a warm welcome in Berlin, one of Europe's most visited and exciting cities. |
