Neighborhood life in Prenzlauer Berg
Our bike tour leads us first along the Kastanienallee through Prenzlauer Berg, one of the most popular residential areas with wonderful beautiful classical old buildings. Here, where once many artists and after the reunification students lived, you will find today mostly families who appreciate the urban life. Prenzlauer Berg with its small tranquil neighborhoods, beautiful markets and cafes offers everything to live relaxed in the city. Our tour continues to Mitte, the city's tourist hotspot. We show you how people live here today and where you can enjoy life away from the tourist highlights. From the cult pub to the trendy Italian, we know the best places and take you on a journey through the last 30 years of life in Berlin.
from trendy district to family quarter
Prenzlauer Berg and Berlin Mitte have experienced incredible change over the last 30 years. After reunification, young people from all over the world moved to the eastern part of the city. Life pulsated here. Small bars and the famous Berlin clubs popped up everywhere. Living space was cheap, the nights were long and the unique Berlin flair that many tourists are still looking for today was to be found here. We show you what is left of it today and how life has changed here. Where once cool scene stores enriched the cityscape, the trendy fashion brands have settled. Here in Mitte are the hipster tourists, for whom Berlin is one of the hottest destinations for the weekend trip.
