Birkenwerder

Wedding, Pankow and Niederschonhausen, are nearby areas which are also worth touring.

People come from near and far to see Brandenburg Gate, one of the best-loved landmarks in the country. It is only 1 mile (2 kilometers) from the city center.

There are many picturesque outdoor attractions here as well so don’t miss the chance to get outdoors. If you want to rest a while in a little tranquility be sure to check out Humboldthain Park.

If you love food and shopping, head to the boutiques, stores and stalls that are part of the Gesundbrunnen Shopping Center.

Immerse yourself in Birkenwerder’s love of sports at Max-Schmeling-Halle. This is home to Alba Berlin basketball team in winter and the Füchse Berlin Reinickendorf HBC handball team in summer. Afterwards, follow local sports obsessives to a nearby pub or bar to either celebrate, or commiserate, depending on the score.

When it’s time to rest your weary feet after a day spent exploring the delights of Birkenwerder, check in to one of the area's many short and long stay accommodation options. If you’re looking for a warm welcome and a good nights sleep it’s hard to go past the Grand City Hotel Berlin Mitte, the Mercure Airport Hotel Berlin Tegel, and the popular Dorint Airport-Hotel Berlin-Tegel.
