Mitte

"Mitte, which translates to “middle” in English, is largely considered the beating heart of the city, hence its name. It’s definitely Berlin’s most commercial component, with a full range of retail options, from indie boutiques to major fast fashion stores, and abundant restaurants, bars and cafes, especially around Torstrasse and Rosenthaler Platz. There’s plenty of culture on offer here too, in the shape of alternative museums and art galleries, such as KW Gallery and the me Collectors Room, both on Auguststrasse, and a slew of key sights: the iconic Brandenburg Gate, its associated shopping boulevard Unter den Linden, the Museum Island and Potsdamer Platz, as well as the German Parliamentary building the Reichstag, the Nikolaiviertel (Nikolai Quarter), the city park Tiergarten, and former East Berlin hub Alexanderplatz, are all here." - MATADOR_NETWORK
