Top 10 Things To Do And See In Neukölln, Berlin.

Brienne Pierce

Neukölln is an attractive neighbourhood for more reasons than can be counted. Its revival has occurred so rapidly even Google Maps can’t always keep up with its faster-than-the-speed-of-light progress. Endless vegan cafés and spritely hybrid stores dot the once uninhabited streets, sandwiched between kebab shops and laundromats. Keeping up with the traditions of the rest of Berlin, what was once abandoned has been recycled into something distinctive, imaginative and irresistible to explore. Here is a list of unmissable details in the Neukölln narrative.

Tempelhof Feld

Tempelhof Airport was a paramount airport in the pre-World War II era in Berlin. It’s closing in 2008 caused quite a stir. Part of the closed airport neighbors the western border of this newly trendy borough. Since its closing, the genius city of Berlin reclaimed this massive space. The airport itself is used for various events like the Berlin music festival, but that’s on an irregular basis. This colossal 386 acre stretch of boundless area invites expats, natives and tourists alike to come barbecue, stretch out in the sun or for the more active, hike, run, or bike on one of the countless trails. The magnitude of this open space champions a kind of freedom that encourages park-goers to occupy this park as they wish.

There are some bars that begged to be instagrammed because of their sweeping views and their effortlessly cool arrangement of artisanal décor. There are some bars whose names stay on the tip of the tongue, not because they are particularly easy to say, but because they get pocketed as go-to destinations. Klunkerkranich is a watering-hole heaven. It’s nestled on the top of a half mall, half parking garage high-rise, think any quintessential New York summer rooftop party, only more spacious and more German. The bar is on the inside with a dance floor and carries some cheap drinks ranging from beers to the hard stuff. The outside is a hodgepodge of what looks like an abandoned bohemian garden party mixed with recycled hipster chic. This place is perfect for starting off the night or enjoying a relaxed drink with a view while taking in the sunset. Since it is an outdoor spot, warm weather pairs best with this spot, but those who dare to brave the cold won’t be utterly disappointed with the exquisite views. Klunkerkranich is an ideal inner-city getaway where it’s still possible to get drunk.
