For those who want to dance to techno beats in old factory halls, enjoy a leisurely brunch or visit a flea market on Sundays.
If you like an urban and alternative vibe, then Friedrichshain is the ideal neighbourhood. Here you’ll still come across plenty of anarchists, strolling around with their dogs off the lead or sunbathing on Boxhagener Platz, alongside young families. The neighbourhood is characterised by its abundance of street art, home cinemas and vegan restaurants, cafés and shops. For a real Berlin experience, head to the RAW site, where the old warehouses serve as a canvas for street artists on the outside and as a skate park, techno club, beer garden or swimming pool on the inside. On this side of the Spree, you’ll find the longest remaining section of the Wall along the water’s edge.
