10 Things To Do See In Prenzlauer Berg Berlin

Prenzlauer Berg is distinct area in Berlin – historically a playground for many sides of the social spectrum. In a post-wall world, it acted as a hot spot for 90s bohemian youth and today, as it slowly but surely becomes more gentrified, you’ll find young professionals sipping coffee in hipster cafés. Read Culture Trip’s guide of what not to miss in this charming area.

1. Mauer Park

Market, Memorial, Park

Spring afternoon at Mauerpark in East Berlin

Mauer Park is not the typical park. Sure, it’s a hot spot for BBQing, lounging, and various makeshift games of catch, but that’s only the beginning. Mauer Park is a mecca for intriguing people-watching, to satiate those voyeuristic propensities. On a visual level, this patch of verdant landscape is arresting; on a cultural level, it is a melting pot. Ample food stands, unique Sunday flea markets, an open graffiti wall, and the occasional Karaoke characterize this epic space. A bonafide Berliner will spend their Sunday enjoying the infinitely dynamism this beloved park has to offer.

2. No Fire No Glory

Cafe, Contemporary

Another coffee wunderkind of the capital is this stylish and friendly caffeine haven. It’s great to go into a roastery that roasts their own beans, but it might be even better to go into a café that uses the best roasteries in town, on a rotating menu. Various machinery for the clientele’s preferences coupled with the bean selection ensures for serious personalization and craft. Those with a sweet tooth will be remarkably satisfied by their allotment of sugary treats.
