Neighborhoods in Berlin

"One of Berlin’s most vibrant districts, Kreuzberg is famed for its alternative after-dark scene — endless underground and dive bars, legendary live music haunts like SO36, techno clubs like Watergate — and rich immigrant population, especially the fondly nicknamed ‘Little Istanbul’ area around Kottbusser Tor where the city’s ubiquitous döner kebab was invented. Its shabby-chic Eastern neighbourhoods, plastered in street art and gig posters, are home to Turks, punks, expats, and start-ups while the Western area, around Bergmannstraße, is more mellow and well-heeled, its leafy streets lined with Altbaus (19th-century buildings) and the pretty Viktoria Park providing a pleasant center point." - MATADOR_NETWORK
