Foreword
Berlin goes gaga every year over the huge variety of
Christmas Markets that are held between late November
and Christmas Eve. Although plenty of foreigners ock to
them, its the locals that make them truly come to life. With
everything from crass commercial markets near the main
malls, more subtle and upmarket ones near the tourist
attractions, and lovely local markets in the suburbs, theres
a Christmas market for everyone in this ne town. See our
feature on p.10 for more details.

Transport
Although Berlin is lodged in the middle of the great
empty vastness of northeast Germany, its very well
connected to the rest of civilisation by bus, train, Autobahn
and air. Once in Berlin, youll wish that your home town had
such good public transport.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Berlins integrated network of U-Bahn (Untergrundbahn,
underground trains), bus, and Straenbahn (trams) run
by BVG and S-Bahn and RE (Schnellbahn and regional
commuter trains run by DB) usually works like a dream. Just
remember the number or colour and end station of the line
you want to use, and youll be navigating the labyrinth-like
stations like a local.
Most S/U-Bahn trains, buses and trams run every 5-15 minutes
during the day. M buses and trams run every half hour at
night; U-Bahn trains run every 15 minutes on weekend nights,
with N buses following their routes every half hour (starting
from Hackescher Markt) on weekday nights.
Tickets can be used on all BVG, S-Bahn and local RE train
services. Vending machines have instructions in English
and accept coins, often bank notes and cards too. Berlins
AB travel zone contains nearly everything; youll only need
an ABC-ticket for Potsdam and Schoenefeld airport.
With an Einzelfahrschein ticket (AB-zone 2,70, ABC
3,30) you can travel one-way for up to two hours with
unlimited transfers; its cheaper to buy four tickets at once
(Vier-Fahrten-Karte, 9). Buy a 1,60 Kurzstrecke (short
distance) ticket if you want to travel up to three S/U-Bahn
stops, or up to six stops by bus or tram. If you anticipate
a lot of travelling, get the Tageskarte (day ticket, valid
until 03:00 the next morning; 6,90) or the seven-day
pass (29,50). Groups of up to ve people are best o
with a Kleingruppenkarte (group day ticket, 16,90). The
multi-day Berlin Welcomecard (18,50-38,50) is valid for
transport and some attractions.
Before boarding the S- or U-Bahn, always validate your
ticket by punching it in the yellow or red machines near
the end of the platforms. On buses and trams, the machines
are on board. Public transport uses the honour system, and
there are regular checks by uniformed and plainclothes
inspectors. If you are caught without a valid ticket youll
be ned 40 on the spot.
BVG
The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe run the U-Bahn, buses and
trams. Their handy trip planner can be found at www.
fahrinfo-berlin.de.Qtel. +49 30 194 49, info@bvg.de,
www.bvg.de.
TAXIS
Berlins friendly and ubiquitous beige Mercedes taxis can be
called or hailed on the street. They can also be found queing
at S/U-Bahn stations and near nightlife hotspots. Not all taxis
accept credit cards, ask when you book. Prices are the same
day and night; agfall plus the rst kilometre is 3,40; then up
to 7km its 1,79/km, thereafter 1,28/km. Waiting costs 25/
hr. For short hops hail a taxi already driving in the direction
you need to go and immediately ask for the Kurzfahrstrecke
tarri; 4 for 2km. By the way, Funk means radio.

CYCLING
As long as its dry, getting around Berlin is really best done
by bicycle. Its a at city, there are plenty of cycle paths and
wide bus lanes for you to use and you see so much more
from the saddle than from the U-Bahn train window. Note
that cycling on the pavement is illegal and may get you
ned, even though everyone does it. Cycling across town
may take a while, though for 1,60 you can take your bike
on an S/U-Bahn train too. There are dozens of bike rental
places, most charging 10-12 per day. The urban bike
trip planner www.bbbike.de can suggest low-trac and
cobblestone-free routes across Berlin.
CITY CARDS
Discounts are a welcome relief, so if you are planning
to travel around town a lot and see more than one
museum, get a reduced rate card. Note that students
and youths may get better reductions at museums
using their student ID cards.
BERLIN WELCOMECARD
The Berlin WelcomeCard is a combined transport and
reduction card (museums, bike tours/rental, boat tours,
etc) valid for zone AB or zone ABC (which includes
Potsdam and Schnefeld airport). Cards are valid for 48
hours (AB 18,50, ABC 20,50), 72 hours (25,50/27,50)
or 5 days (32,50/37,50). Theres also a 72-hour variety
(38,50/40,50) that includes free admission to the ve
Museumsinsel museums. Cards are sold online and from
BVG ticket machines, tourist oces, S-Bahn oces, hotels
and kiosks. The similar CityTourCard (www.citytourcard.
com) is a little cheaper, with restaurant, bar and club
discounts geared towards younger travellers: 48 hours
(AB 16,90, ABC 18,90), 72 hours (23,90/25,90) or
5 days (30,90/35,90).Qwww.berlin-welcomecard.de.
MUSEUM PASS BERLIN
50 museums, including the permanent collections of
the Staatliche Museen (state museums), can be visited
with the Berlin Museum Pass (24/12, valid three days).
Its for sale at the museums, tourism oces and online.

CRIME & SAFETY

Berlin is a relatively calm and safe place. Instances of petty
crimes are low compared to other Western European capitals, though you shoulds still always keep an eye on your
valuables and never leave bags, wallets and mobile phones
unattended. Just like anywhere else, be careful when walking in unlit streets late at night. Race-related hassles seldom
occur in Berlins touristed central areas.
ELECTRICITY
Electrical current in Germany is 220v AC, 50 Hz via standard European round, two-pin sockets. Converters can be
bought at the airport and large electronics shops, and
many hotels will have them at the front desk too.
ERASMUS STUDENT
NETWORK
How do international students get to meet locals
and the city during an academic exchange? The
best way to do it is via the Erasmus Student Network
(ESN), one of the biggest interdisciplinary student
associations in Europe. It was developed to help
internationals during their stay abroad. ESN is present
in more than 430 Higher Education Institutions in 36
countries. The closest section to Berlin is the section
in Potsdam, where more than 20 volunteers care for
you. For information, see potsdam.esngermany.org or
www.facebook.com/esn.lei.potsdam.

MONEY
Germany uses the euro (). Banknotes come in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500. Coins,
whose design depends on in which country they were
minted, come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50
cents and 1 and 2. Credit and debit card payment is
possible in a wide range of shops, restaurants and nightlife
venues, though always have cash on you for small payments
just in case. This guide indicates which places do not accept
plastic. ATMs can be found everywhere; those that charge
for transactions clearly indicate the fee during the process.
Exchange oces can be found at the major train stations.
VISAS AND ENTRY

FORMALITIES
EU citizens can stay in Germany as long as they like, though
registration at a Brgeramt oce is ocially required for stays
more than a few months. Citizens of Australia, Canada, Hong
Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Mexico USA and a few
others can enter Germany without a visa for a maximum of 90
days in any six month period. All other nationals need to apply
for a German visa in advance. Note that theres no passport
control between Germany and the other 14 European Schengen countries, and visas to any of these are valid for travel in
Germany too. All visitors need a passport that is valid for at
least fourth months from the date of arrival; EU citizens can
enter with a valid EU identity card too. Check the MFA website
for the latest immigration details: www.auswaertiges-amt.de.

Rainfall (mm)
Germans like their beer, drinking about 107 litres per capita
per year (down from 136 litres 15 years ago). Unfortunately
Berlins local brew, the slightly sour Berliner Weie, is only really palatable mit Schuss, with a shot of sweet fruit sirup. Cocktails and long drinks of varying quality and price are available
in a multitude of places. Non-alcoholic drinks often sipped
in Berlin include Apfelschorle, a refreshing mix of apple juice
and sparkling water, and Club-Mate (kloob mah-tea) ice tea,
made with extract of the South American mat plant, caeine
and tannins, and is popular with local hipsters as it comes in
a screw top bottle so you can hiply tote it around (or drink to
just below the top label and top it up with wodka).

Berlin Districts
Berlin is four times the size of Paris, and even though the
city consolidated its 23 districts into 12 in 2001, youre still
left with 23 self contained areas (Kieze) in which Berliners
often nd everything they need. Public transportation is
far-reaching and eective though, and youll grow to love it
as you shuttle between the four areas with the most sights:
Charlottenburg, Tiergarten, Mitte and Kreuzberg.
MITTE (MI)
Since reunication, Mitte has rightly snatched back the title
of most-visited district from Charlottenburg. On and o the
boulevard Unter den Linden, whose trees Marlene Dietrich
once extolled in song, are baroque and classical monuments
to Prussian culture. The proximity of state libraries, the State
Opera, Humboldt University, the old Arsenal (now the
German History Museum), Gendarmenmarkt, Museum
Island, Berliner Dom, and the abandoned East German
Parliament building make for more talk, less walk tours. The
architecturally humbler area of Mitte is the Scheunenviertel,
whose layout looks as if 17th-century planners got
interrupted during a game of pick-up sticks. Its on these
streets that the casually chic saunter from courtyard gallery
to sidewalk caf, pointing out directions to tourists seeking
out the latest hotspots or traces of the Jewish community
that lived here from the late 17th-century until the mass
deportations of the Nazi era.
CHARLOTTENBURG (CB)
If downtown to you means wide, trac-lled streets,
crowds of shoppers, ve-star hotels and tall buildings, then
Charlottenburg comes closest to tting the bill in Berlin. Much
of what was here was bombed in the war and built anew in the
1950s. The nexus of activity is the knot where Kufrstendamm,
Joachimsthaler Str, Bahnhof Zoo and Tauentzienstr. come
together. Follow what becomes an increasingly silken
ribbon down Kurfrstendamm (Kudamm) and the setting
becomes more genteel where you cant see the buildings for
the trees. Nearby but isolated from the hoi polloi is Schloss
Charlottenburg, the residence of King Friedrich I.
TIERGARTEN (TG)
Tiergarten is both a district and the name of the 255 hectare
park that began as the Great Electors hunting grounds in
the 1600s and became increasingly more civilised with
landscaping in the 1800s. Trac passes through it, doing a
dosey-doe around the Siegessule (Victory Column). Slicing
though the parks length is Str. des 17. Juni, which leads to
the Brandenburg Gate at the eastern end. Just south of it are
the museums of the Kulturforum and Potsdamer Pl.
KREUZBERG (KB)
Thanks to a large Turkish community and more hippies,
anarchists and alternative folks than you can shake a
didgeridoo at, Kreuzberg feels neither East nor West. It
was the black sheep of West Berlin, left alone in its far-o
dreamstime.com
room to play loud music and draw on the walls (literally, it

was parked in a dead-end, cornered by The Wall). In 1987
social and economic frustration exploded into violence and
vandalism during the traditionally political demonstrations
of May Day. Every year since, the city prepares for a long
night of stone-throwing and burning automobiles. May
1st is essentially Kreuzbergs way of reliving its 15 minutes
of fame. The rest of the days are marked by backgammon
at the mens clubs, caf-sitting on the Landwehrkanal,
and ambling down the popular drags Oranienstr.
and Bergmannstr. Two major museums, the House at
Checkpoint Charlie and the Jewish Museum, are planted in
the staid parts of the district.
PRENZLAUER BERG (PB)

On a low hill northeast of Mitte, Prenzl Berg is an old
working-class district in the former East Berlin that came
through the war relatively unscathed. The best places to
soak up the atmosphere are Kollwitzpl, Helmholzpl. and
along Kastanienallee (all near U-Bahn Eberswalderstr.).
Prenzlauer Bergs few attractions include the Vitra Design
museum and a 19th-century brewery complex that is now
the Kulturbrauerei culture centre. A good time to visit is
Saturday when the eco-market is open on Kollwitzplatz, or
Sunday when everyone sits outside being cool and eating
breakfast all day.
FURTHER AFIELD
Districts mostly known for their restaurant and nightlife
scene are Schneberg (SB), the centre of gay Berlin, and
Friedrichshain (FH), lled with creatively tattered and
tattooed students. Berlin has green spots galore, and after
Tiergarten the most popular getaways are the Grunewald
forest and lake Wannsee, in the southwest district of
Zehlendorf (ZD).
Sports in Berlin
Despite being rivals, Berlins six professional sports
collaborate to improve the circumstances for professional
sports in Berlin, promoting Berlins image as an international
sports event destination.
Eisbren Berlin
City Press GmbH
Berlin is without a doubt the German capital of sports - the

city has no less than six professional sports teams, playing
ve exciting spectator sports: Hertha BSC and FC Union
play football, the Eisbren is an ace ice hockey team, Alba is
Berlins renowned basketball club, the Fchse play handball,
and volleyball is taken care of by the BR Volleys. Their
home matches attract huge numbers of visitors to Berlins
stadiums; last season alone 2,4 million tickets were sold
for their events. In addition to this, Berlins streets regularly
host huge sports events such as the public viewing festivals
during major sports events abroad, and the city also hosts
countless amateur sports matches.
ALBA BERLIN (BASKETBALL)
Also known as the Albatrosse,
Berlins basketball club is
Germanys most successful, and
has the largest fanbase; home
matches easily attract 10,000
spectators. Since going pro in
1991, Alba has won the German
League 8 times and the German
Cup 7 times, and was also the rst German team to
win an international title with the 1995 Korac Cup. In
the 2015-2016 the team had 8 straight victories before
losing a match in the Bundesliga; still its looking
good and mixed results in the Euro-league mean they
should advance. Alba slam-dunk their way to victory at
their home Mercedes-Benz-Arena:
2 Dec, 20:00: Le Mans Sarthe
13 Dec, 17:00: Brose Baskets Bamberg

The home matches of Berlins pro teams are easy to visit:

you dont need to understand German to be able to follow
a match and unlike in other European countries, sports
matches in Germany are quite peaceful events, meaning
its no problem to bring the whole family to the stadium
for an afternoon or evening of fun. Finding out about
which matches are playing where can be problematic for
visitors however as the club websites are not all available
in English, and some make it dicult to nd the upcoming
playing dates. In the club details here we have listed all
home matches for the following months, though always
keep an eye on the club websites for changes or additional
matches. Berlins ocial English-language sports website
www.berlin-sportmetropole.de has information about
all the teams, venues and tickets; ticket booking site
www.eventimsports.de sells tickets for all matches.
Eisbren Berlin
Berliners are rightly proud of their professional ice-hockey
team, Eisbren Berlin, or polar bears. Founded in 1953
it was already very succesful in the GDR before winning
the national Deutsche Eishockey Liga no less than 7 times
since 1990, more than any other team. In the Champions
Hockey League the team unfortunately did not make it past
Swedish top team Skelleftea AIK recently. Hopes are high
for the German Leggue though, and former NHL player
Mark Olver joins his brother Darin in the team this season
after leaving the Swiss club Kloten Flyers.
Enjoy cheering for Berlin!
BR VOLLEYS (VOLLEYBALL)
Berlins professional volleyball team originates
in the western district
of Charlottenburg, but
plays home matches at
the Max-Schmeling-Halle in Prenzlauer Berg. The BR
Volleys have been particularly successful since the late
1990s, winning the German Bundesliga title ve times.
Their upcoming home games are:
2 Dec, 19:30: Marek Dupnitsa

Sports in Berlin
EISBREN BERLIN (ICE HOCKEY)
Originating in 1953 in East
Germanys Dynamo sports
club, the polar bears is Berlins
popular professional ice hockey
team. They won the national
Deutsche Eishockey Liga 7
times, more than any other
team, and also bagged the
European Trophy in 2010. Their
home matches at the Mercedes-Benz-Arena are true
familyfests, with a festive, good-humoured atmosphere.
The bears are the hottest team in town, and are currently
ghting for a play-o spot in the German League.

FCHSE BERLIN (HANDBALL)

The foxes, Berlins
handball team, is part
of an old West Berlin
sports club, and now
plays home matches
in Prenzlauer Bergs
Max-Schmeling-Halle,
named after the boxing
legend who was world
champion heavyweight
between 1930-32. The
Fchse compete in the upper half of the Bundesliga
table but are not really a contender for a title. As the
title holder of the EHF European Cup they are ghting
an uphill battle to advance to the next round, having
to win in France from top team Chambery.

HERTHA BSC (FOOTBALL)

FC UNION BERLIN (FOOTBALL)
FC Union is the working mans football team for

Berlin, originating in East Berlin in 1966 and a feared
counterpart for the GDRs state-inuenced Dynamo
club. Union is still ercely independent, based in their
charming An der Alten Frsterei stadium. The club
has resisted all commercialism, with a club anthem
sung by punkrock legend Nina Hagen, and a stadium
uniquely partly owned by passionate fans. Nicknamed
Eisern Union (iron union), it had a tough time in
the 1990s, but has had more success in the national
competitions since the early 2000s. The new trainer,
Lewandowski, has introduced a more oensive style

Christmas & New Years in Berlin

accompany a dazzling variety of performances. Watch
juggler Enrico Annaev, acrobat Emily Kinch, diaboloartist David Confal, monocyclist Vitaly Ostroverhov and
the At Moonlight acrobats.

Stiftung Deutsches Historisches Museum
The Second World War ended in Europe on the 8th of

May 1945 with the capitulation of the Wehrmacht. Six
years of war had cost the lives of millions of victims
and brought with it a previously unknown degree of
destruction. The Second World War ended in Europe
on the 8th of May 1945 with the capitulation of the
Wehrmacht. Six years of war had cost the lives of
millions of victims and brought a previously unknown
degree of destruction. War and occupation, crimes,
expulsions and forced resettlement had left a lasting
mark on the countries and populations involved.
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the
German capitulation, the exhibition 1945 Defeat.
Liberation. New Beginning. Twelve European
countries after the Second World War until 10 January,
concentrates on the situation in which the societies and
political systems in those countries found themselves
at the end of the war as well as on the most important
upheavals of the post-war period. In addition, it sheds
light on the everyday lives of the people. Thirtysix juxtaposed biographies form the basis for an
investigation of the consequences of the war years
for the people without qualifying or weighing the
experiences or the suering of the dierent individuals
against one another.

Piet Mondrian. The Line
With his characteristic compositions of rectangles and black
lines, Piet Mondrian (18721944) is regarded as one of the
founders of abstract painting, a master of the composition
of coloured areas. Through his method of strict reduction
to the basic elements of painting, Mondrian created icons
of classic modernism.

Mitte
Between Mitte and Charlottenburg, the huge Tiergarten
park began as the Great Electors hunting grounds in the
1600s. Trac passes through it, doing a dosey-doe around
the Siegessule victory column. The Strae des 17. Juni
leads east to the Brandenburger Tor; just south of it are the
state museums of the Kulturforum and the Potsdamer Platz
district with its soaring corporate buildings.
GETTING THERE
Arrivals by plane and train usually end up at Hauptbahnhof
station, central for the city but not really close to anything.
S-Bahn trains from the top level link to the east and west
of the city, while the fancy new two-stop U55 U-Bahn line
takes sightseers straight to Brandenburger Tor.
POCKET WALK
Start o at Brandenburger Tor and the Reichstag before
heading south past the Holocaust memorial and Potsdamer
Platz to the Topographie des Terrors exhibition and the
adjacent stretch of Berlin Wall. Follow Zimmerstrae for
the Stasi Exhibition and Checkpoint Charlie. Walk north
along Friedrichstrae and turn right at Mohrenstrae for
Gendarmenmarkt square, before ambling to Unter den
Linden via Bebelplatz. Walk east past the Neue Wache and
Berliner Dom, turn left into Spandauer Strae, and pass
through Hackescher Markt station. Visit the Hackesche
Hfe complex before walking down Oranienburger Strae
for the Neue Synagoge. You can catch the S-Bahn from here
back to Brandenburger Tor.
Since reunication, the old city centre district Mitte

(meaning middle) has rightly snatched back the title of
most-visited district from Charlottenburg. On and o the
boulevard Unter den Linden are baroque and classical
monuments to Prussian culture. The architecturally
humbler but more neighbourhood-like Scheunenviertel
area allows the casually chic to saunter from courtyard
gallery to sidewalk caf. Only traces are left of the Jewish
community that lived here from the late 17th century,
welcomed by the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm.

LANDMARKS
BRANDENBURGER TOR
Berlins landmark monument, built by Carl Langhans
in 1792, is the last remaining of 14 city gates. Nike, the
goddess of victory, drives the four-horsepower chariot
atop the gate. German armies used to begin their parades
here, the fascists spoiled the gate by staging their torch-lit
marches through it, the war badly damaged it, and then the
Wall essentially bricked the patched-up gate in for decades.
Berliners celebrated the Walls fall in 1989 by standing on it
in front of the gate, and after renovations the gate is the
proud focus point of the renewed square again.QF-3,

Allied bombs. Documents and photographs remember the
thriving Jewish community of the neighbourhood, many of
whom worshipped here in what was the largest synagogue
in Germany. A subtle but eective sound installation adds

NIKOLAIVIERTEL
Berlins tiny medieval heart is the Nikolai Quarter,

along with the entire quarter in the 1980s to mark Berlins
750th birthday in the area in which the shermens
settlement rst began. No one was trying to outdo Walt
Disney here, and many of the buildings have the simple,
concrete facades that the GDR government could aord.
The small shops in the area mostly deal in toys and
souvenirs and tourists gladly ll the sunny tables at the
restaurants that face the river. On Rathausstrae, theres
a row of restaurants that aunt old-fashioned Berlin
cuisine and atmosphere. Other rebuilt historic buildings

MEMORIAL TO THE MURDERED JEWS
OF EUROPE

surrounding the term Holocaust. Six million Jews are
estimated to have been killed by the Nazis and this site
serves as Germanys national memorial to those victims. The
design by American architect Peter Eisenmann is a eld of
2,700 concrete stelae, or pillars, of varying height, creating
an undulating landscape that lls two city blocks. The
memorial has an undergound information centre which is
not suitable for children.QF-3, Cora-Berliner-Strae 1,

The most hard-hitting of all GDR-related museums,

trials, the Hohenschnhausen prison swallowed
thousands of people who underwent horric physical
and psychological torture in the chilling submarine
cell block and the interrogation rooms. A short lm is
followed by an excellent 90-minute guided tour, vividly
explaining how eciently the prison system worked,
and how nobody ever escaped. Take tram M5 from
Alexanderplatz to Freienwalder Strae and walk 600
metres.QGenslerstrae 66, tel. +49 30 98 60 82 30,

Charlottenburg & the West

Follow what becomes an increasingly silken ribbon down
Kurfrstendamm (Kudamm) and the setting becomes
more genteel. West Berliners meet in the bars and cafs
branching o Savignyplatz, even if the Szene has moved
east. Nearby but isolated from the hoi polloi is Schloss
Charlottenburg, the residence of King Friedrich I. This
chapter also covers other parts of western Berlin: leafy
Wilmersdorf and Schneberg, the centre of gay Berlin
since the days of Christopher Isherwoods Berlin Stories.
Weve also included some nearby venues in Tiergarten
(ocially part of Mitte) here.
GETTING THERE
Charlottenburgs nerve centre is Zoologischer Bahnhof
station, along the main west-east raised city railway and
easily reached from Hauptbahnhof or Spandau. From heres
its a short walk to many hotels and sights, or else hop on
the M29 bus, going east along Tauentzienstrae or west
down Kurfrstendamm.
POCKET WALK: CHARLOTTENBURG
Explore Charlottenburg from Zoologischer Garten station.
Walk east past the Zoo to Breitscheidplatz for the ruins
and modern reincarnation of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial
Church. Stroll further east down Tauentzienstrae for the
KaDeWe department store and other upmarket shops, or
head west along Kantstrae to leafy Savignyplatz for calm
cafs and rened dining, or southwest down grand old
Kurfrstendamm for more shopping.

If downtown to you means wide, trac-lled streets,

crowds of shoppers, ve-star hotels and tall buildings,
then Charlottenburg comes closest to tting the bill in
Berlin. The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedchtniskirche church, left
as a ruin after the war, is the nexus of activity; between
it and Zoologischer Garten station, over a billion euros is
being invested in impressive highrises, hotels and oces.

The name Zwiebelsch is, among other things, the term

still-kicking liberals come here to rest the weight of their
youthful ideals and trade wisecracks with long-time owner
Hartmut Volmerhaus. Jazz or classic music is piped in, and
a selection of papers and magazines helps stretch out
the beer or coee. Hot meals, like goulash and Swabian
Maultaschen are served up until 03:00. The tall tables
abutting the bar are a brilliantly social arrangement.QC-4,

WEST BERLIN REVIVAL
After the Second World War, the western half of Berlin

found itself in a very curious situation. This group of city
suburbs, which included the chic shopping and theatre
district of Charlottenburg, was suddenly declared a
separate entity from the eastern part of the city, which
included the entire city centre district. After the fall of
the Wall, West Berlin went through a tough decade of
reorientation, as investment and visitors headed east
to the original city centre. Now however, the West is
undergoing something of a revival. Next to the newly
renovated Gedchtniskirche stands the gleaming
new Waldorf Astoria, overlooking the revolutionary
Bikini Berlin concept mall and the linked 25hours
Hotel Bikini Berlin. Just across the tracks, the C/O
Berlin photo gallery opened last autumn.

OLYMPIC STADIUM
The Olympic Stadium was originally built under the
direction of architect Werner March to host the 1936
Olympic Games. A good example of bombastic fascist
architecture, its size never fails to impress. The most
striking changes are the blue track and the seemingly
oating roof whose translucent skin oers shelter for
almost all of the 75,000 seats. On non-event days you
can visit the stadium using a multi-language audioguide,
or on an hour-long guided tour.QOlympischer Platz 3,

Prenzlauer Berg
On a low hill northeast
of Mitte, Prenzl Berg is an
old working-class district
in the former East Berlin
that came through the war
relatively unscathed. After
1989, the cool brigade
pounced on the area, and
houses that were once
home to East German
punks were renovated
in odes to pastel. The
number of wine shops and
young parents pushing
pricey prams indicates the level of gentrication here. The
best places to soak up the atmosphere are Kollwitzplatz,
Helmholzplatz and along Kastanienallee. One of Prenzlauer
Bergs best attractions is the Kulturbrauerei culture centre,
set in a 19th-century brewery complex. This chapter also
covers some places in multicultural Wedding, just to the
west.
POCKET WALK: PRENZLAUER BERG

Start walking uphill along Kollwitzstrae from U-Bahn
station Senefelder Platz. From leafy Kollwitzplatz turn
into beautiful Husemannstrae, which was already
restored in GDR times, and left into Sredzkistrae
where youll spot the Kulturbrauerei complex ahead;
enter beside the tall chimney and wander through its
courtyards to the northern exit. Cross Danziger Strae
and amble down Lychenerstrae to pretty, caf-lined
Helmholtzplatz. Follow Raumerstrae west, turn left
down Pappelallee and cross underneath the U-Bahn
station to Eberswalder Strae; youll soon reach the
popular Mauerpark and the top end of Bernauer Strae
with its excellent Wall Memorial.

like it. The Eck serves inexpensive Berlin dishes - sausages,
Boulette (hamburger), and Bratkartoel (fried potatoes),
and has a letter from artist Heinrich Zille to the rst tavern
owner hanging on the back wall, as well as a savings box
that regulars once contributed to.QG-2, Metzer Strae 33,

Kreuzberg
Thanks to a large Turkish
community and more
hippies, anarchists and
alternative folks than
you can shake a bong at,
Kreuzberg feels neither east
nor west. It was the black
sheep of West Berlin, literally
cornered up against the
death strip and left alone
to play loud music and
draw on the walls. By now,
the protesting students
of 1968 have grown grey
alongside the Turkish immigrants. Every year since 1987,
Kreuzberg relives its 15 minutes of fame during the traditional
May Day political demonstrations, which invariably turn into
a long night of stone-throwing and burning cars. Otherwise,
Kreuzberg is a perfectly safe district to wander through, and
its all about backgammon at the mens clubs, caf-sitting
along Landwehrkanal, and ambling down the popular
Oranienstrae and Bergmannstrae drags.
This chapter also covers areas south of Kreuzberg: leafy
Treptow west along the river Spree, the Tempelhof
airport-turned-park which attracts thousands of visitors
in summer, and the upcoming Neuklln district. Here,
the Kreuzklln area around Reuterstrae is increasingly
attracting hipsters, artists, artsy boutiques and weird
nightlife spots.

POCKET WALK: KREUZBERG

Kreuzberg is best explored in two parts. From Platz der
Luftbrcke station walk west to Viktoriapark and climb the
Kreuzberg for views north over the city. Descend eastwards
and walk along genteel Bergmannstrae, perhaps
visiting a caf or the market hall, before walking south to
Columbiadamm for access to the the former Tempelhof
airport, now a wonderful park.
Start a tour of the fascinating eastern end of Kreuzberg
at Kottbusser Tor U-Bahn station; wander north through
little Istanbul to Oranienplatz and follow the park to
the Engelbecken pond where you can follow the former
Wall along Bethaniendamm to Mariannenplatz, a centre
of Berlin subculture. Stroll down Waldemarstrae to
caf-lined Lausitzerplatz and cross under the U-Bahn
line to lively Grlitzer Park. From here, go north into
Falckensteinstrae to discover more of Kreuzbergs street
art, or head south along Ohlauer Strae and across
Landwehrkanal into the trendy Kreuzklln district for
cupcakes and cocktails.

Shopping
MARKTHALLE IX
When Berlins rapid growth and new hygiene measures
made the street markets redundant in the late 19th
century, the city built a series of grand brick market halls
in all districts, ensuring a supply of quality products to all
corners of the city. Markthalle IX, or market hall number
9, is one of just two such halls that survived war and
city planners, saved by several shops that rented space
inside. A few years ago some young entrepreneurs
restarted the weekly markets in the building, adding
events like cake, crafts and Christmas markets. Its been
a resounding success, with the streetfood markets on
Thursday evenings attracting hipsters from all over
town. Arrive early to beat the beardy crowds!
