For get to know Berlin well, your visit should not be limited to visiting the central neighborhood of Mitte oAlexanderplatz, where the monuments are concentrated, but you must also move through other areas such as the so-called Farm neighborhood o Jewish neighborhood.
But if you want to know one of its most popular neighborhoods, I advise you visit of the old working class district of Kreuzberg, also known now as the turkish quarter, southeast of Berlin.
Indeed, this area of Berlin, which was located in the western area next to the old wall, is now characterized by being the place of residence of the very large Turkish community in the German capital.
It is a neighborhood that offers you a very different side of Berlin, with modest houses and commercial establishments, but channels that cross it and the color of many of the facades of its houses give it a special charm.
To the central point of turkish quarter of berlin you arrive by getting off at the metro station Kottbuser Tor, but you can also walk after your visit to the curious section of the old Berlin Wallthat configures the East Side Gallery.
From there, you will cross the Oberbaumbrucke, the longest and most famous bridge in Berlin, and following the boulevard where the elevated subway tracks run, you will reach said central point.
Very close, you will find the most important of the markets in the turkish quarter, the one found in Maybachufer, on the south bank of the canal Landwehr Canal.
Precisely this canal is a pleasant place for a walk, where terraces follow one another, from where you can see the boats that travel along it.
Of course, in this Kreuzberg neighborhood The absolute majority are Turkish establishments, and your visit can be a good opportunity to eat Turkish specialties, for which I advise you to go to Hasir restaurant, Near Kottbusser Tor.
Without a doubt, a visit that will give you a different vision of the city of Berlin.
