The fact that Berlin It is a city with a great atmosphere, both cultural and leisure, I'm sure you already know this, as it is precisely its great attraction.

The area with the most outstanding cultural atmosphere is, without a doubt, the one called Museum island, where the main museums of the city are concentrated, among which the Pergamon Museum.

Y shopping areas or leisure? There are several, but now I am going to point out one of the ones that had the greatest atmosphere during my last trip to berlin, during the month of August.

These are Hackesche Hofe courtyards, located in the old Berlin Jewish Quarter, also known as the Barns neighborhood or The farms.

This area is located very close to the aforementioned island, northeast of the historic center Mitte, together with Hackescher Markt, where there is a train station and a square filled with restaurant terraces, a very touristy enclave.

The courtyards of the Jewish quarter of Berlin They date back to 1906, when a series of mixed-use buildings were built at that time, that is, for homes as well as offices and even small factories.

Specifically, it is a succession of eight interior patios that are connected by passages between buildings of modern architecture, between the streets Rosenthale y Sophienstrasse.
