Love parades, the Berlin Film Festival, historical sites... this and much more is Berlin. Perhaps the favorable offer of flights of a foreign airline is an additional reason to visit it. We walked around the interesting European capital, so we give you some hints, but you will certainly find many more more or less hidden corners in Berlin that will inspire you so much that you will be happy to return there.
WHERE AFTER SHOPPING?
Every visit abroad, especially for the fairer sex, ends (or even begins) with shopping. Berlin, like most capitals, hides countless very different opportunities to spice up your wardrobe. The focal point of “fancy” shopping is Kurfürstendamm or Ku'damm as the locals call it. It is home to renowned fashion designers and haute couture stores. Those who are more interested in clothing for mere mortals and want to spend an interesting day shopping at the same time can visit the Potsdamer Platz Arkaden shopping center on Potsdamer Square in Tiergarten. This is a popular center for Berliners and visitors, with a little bit of everything, from chains like H & M to more affordable brands - Mango, Esprit, Joop, etc. In this center, in addition to fashionable shops, you can also find solid fast food places, such as Mr Clou, a vegetarian restaurant with a large selection of fresh juices in the cellar. For those who prefer unusual clothes and fashion accessories, we recommend that you take a look at the smaller shops, for example in the center or on Prenzlauer Hill. It will certainly be interesting to visit the trendy shops with a slightly "offbeat" range of clothes and fashion accessories near Oranienburger Strasse, Rosenthaler Strasse, Heckmannhöfe Strasse and Alte Schönhäuser Strasse.
FOR UNDER THE TEETH
Good places for a solid dinner can be found on Oranienburger Strasse in the Hackesche Höfe extension. In recent years, this street has undergone a complete renovation. You will find a lot of excellent, but still affordable restaurants, mostly aimed at tourists who are interested in such places. There is not much real Berlin atmosphere in these bars. Apparently, Berliners are not among the friendliest hosts. Locals also like to go to these bars. We should also point out an interesting restaurant called Mirchi on Oranienburger Strasse, which offers food from Singapore (you could call it Indo-European) - the service is excellent, and the food is eye-catching and tasty, in short - good quality for a reasonable price. The good side of this street is the numerous, very diverse restaurants and bars with friendly service. Off Oranienburger Strasse we recommend an Indian restaurant called Naan; at Oderberger Strasse 49 on the banks of the Prenzlauer. For breakfast or a snack, stop at the Helmholzplatz square on the banks of the Prenzlauer. Again, an excellent choice: good quality and a relaxing atmosphere among students and mostly young visitors.
NIGHT LIFE
To make your visit to Berlin complete, spice it up with a night stroll through the pubs. You can always have a good time in Berlin. A very popular area is around the Kollwitzplatz square on the banks of the Prenzlauer, where many bars have anchored. Locals say that this is a very touristy part of the city, which means that you will meet a lot of foreigners, travelers, tourists, ... and less Berliners. For a more original image of Berlin's nightlife, it's worth turning to Simon Dach Strasse in Friedrichshain. Here you will find cute cocktail bars as well as classic "drink till you drop" bars. It will surely brighten up your evening. You can continue your stroll through the streets of Berlin between sights such as Alexandersplatz, the Brandenburg Gate or the cathedral, and you can stroll through Berlin's many city parks, as Berlin is a very green city if you visit at the right time of year.
