The Berlin edit
The Berlin address book
Art institutions, a market hall, open runways and rooms with a different rhythm.
PlaceActivities
Hamburger Bahnhof
A former station that rewards a longer stop. Contemporary art, generous rooms and a reason to turn an arrival into an afternoon.
PlaceActivities
Berlinische Galerie
Berlin looking at itself through art, photography and architecture. A strong first stop for a Kreuzberg day with room to wander.

A courtyard address for contemporary art on Auguststraße. Save it for the next exhibition season: galleries are currently between programmes.

Photography that earns more than a glance, inside Amerika Haus. Make this the centre of a City West afternoon.

Tempelhofer Feld
More sky than agenda. Former runways, wide grass and a Berlin afternoon that leaves room to do very little.
Free entry
PlaceActivities
East Side Gallery
A walk where painting and Berlin’s divided history share the same wall. Slow down between the images, then find the river.
Free entry
PlaceActivities
Markthalle Neun
Bread, produce and a reason to arrive hungry in Kreuzberg. Look at the counters before deciding what lunch should be.
PlaceActivities
Berghain
An industrial-scale destination for a night chosen around the music. Read the programme, leave room for uncertainty at the door.
PlaceActivities
Tresor / Globus
Techno below, another musical conversation in Globus. Choose the lineup and give the former power station a night of its own.

OHM
A smaller room with a wide musical range, beside Tresor. Follow the selectors into bass, left turns and nights with their own identity.

Gropius Bau
Give a major exhibition a proper afternoon in Gropius Bau’s generous rooms. Leave the rest of Kreuzberg for after the galleries.
Free entry

A free museum stop for imagining how we might live. Come with questions about cities, technology or nature and leave room to disagree.
Free entry
PlaceActivities
Viktoriapark
A short uphill walk gives Kreuzberg a different perspective. Bring time to sit above the neighbourhood rather than just collect the view.
PlaceActivities
Holzmarkt 25
Bakery, bars and riverbank conversations on the Spree. Holzmarkt works as a place to linger before deciding what the evening becomes.
PlaceConcerts
Sisyphos
Give a Rummelsburg club outing room to unfold. Sisyphos belongs in a plan built around the music, with the return journey already considered.
