Modern Berlin is an exciting place to visit and live. Over the past 30 years, a rich and growing cultural landscape has attracted hoards of young people and international artists that have in turn established the city as an epicentre of ‘cool’ and counter-culture.
Spend a day in Kreuzberg’s Görlitzer Park, an old railway station turned graffiti-garnished park, inundated with musicians and authentic hipsters. Wander the famous East Side Gallery in Friedrichshain, where street art brightens the longest still-standing segment of the Wall. Peruse the colourful boutiques of Prenzlauer Berg’s tree-lined streets, which in the 1990s famously fostered punks and a distinct bohemian clamour.
Encapsulating the city’s enthusiasm for counter-culture, Berliners love to party... and party they do, in a number of unique settings that make Berlin’s nightlife legendary.
Kick back at sunset in a deck chair with an industrial Spree-side vista at one of the city’s numerous ‘beach’ bars. Join the crowds that frequent hip bar hubs like Kreuzberg's Oranienstrasse or Neukölln’s Weserstrasse. Witness the true spirit of modern Berlin, with a night spent revelling past dawn at superclubs like Kater Holzig, Bergheim or Salon Zur Wilden Renate… Don’t be put off by the queues; these venues are undeniably worth the wait.
