Pankow

Longer staysQuietParks

Pankow is a large, mostly quiet residential district in the north of Berlin that also includes trendy Prenzlauer Berg. The center around Florastraße and the Bürgerpark feels down-to-earth and relaxed, with farmers' markets, small shops and lots of greenery. With the Baroque Schönhausen Palace and its grounds, there is a rewarding excursion destination that was once a GDR state residence.

For food, Pankow is everyday and unpretentious, with pleasant cafés, bakeries and solid restaurants in the neighborhoods. The Bürgerpark and the Schönholzer Heide invite a stroll. For an overnight stay, the district suits longer visits and travelers who want to live like locals, with good connections to the center in a distinctly quieter setting.
