Berlin

East Side Gallery

Attractions

★★★★★

The longest surviving stretch of the Berlin Wall, painted by artists from around the world in 1990. Walk it along the Spree.

Tempelhofer Feld

Outdoors

★★★★★

A decommissioned airport turned park — kite-surfers on the runways, barbecues on the grass. Nothing else like it anywhere.

Markthalle Neun

Food

★★★★★

A 19th-century Kreuzberg market hall. Come on Street Food Thursday, when the whole hall turns into a global dinner party.

The Barn

Coffee

★★★★★

Berlin’s most serious roaster. The Auguststraße café in Mitte is the original — no sugar, no shortcuts, no apologies.

Zeit für Brot

Dessert

★★★★★

Watch the bakers roll cinnamon Zimtschnecken in the open kitchen. The queue moves fast and the buns are still warm.

Buck and Breck

Drinks

★★★★★

A black storefront, a doorbell, and fourteen seats around one counter. Ring and wait — it’s worth it.

Bikini Berlin

Shopping

★★★★★

A concept mall of rotating pop-up boxes by the zoo. The rooftop terrace looks straight into the monkey enclosure.
