Neukölln

Neukölln is perhaps the fastest-changing district in Berlin. Around Weserstraße, the Reuterkiez and Sonnenallee, Middle Eastern supermarkets, small bars, vegan snack spots and cafés mix into a dense, young street life. Karl-Marx-Straße is the busy main artery, with quiet residential streets of old buildings and back courtyards alongside.

For food, Neukölln is a paradise for anyone who loves international cuisine: Arab bakeries, Turkish restaurants and one of the city's best addresses for döner and falafel sit side by side in a tight space. In the evening, Weserstraße fills with bars open until late. For an overnight stay, the district suits budget-conscious, going-out travelers who want to experience the real, multicultural Berlin.
