East Side Gallery
The longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall, now an open-air gallery with over 100 murals. Dmitri Vrubel's 'Fraternal Kiss' is the most famous. Free to visit.
Vöner
15 min walk. Berlin's legendary vegan döner kebab. Crispy seitan, fresh salad, and secret sauces in warm flatbread. Cheap, fast, and surprisingly incredible.
RAW Gelände
5 min walk. Former railway repair yard turned alternative cultural complex. Street art, skateparks, climbing walls, and weekend flea markets in gritty industrial surroundings.
Hops & Barley
3 min walk. Craft brewery in a former butcher shop. They brew pilsner, dunkel, and seasonal beers on-site. The Friedrichshainer Pilsner is crisp and refreshing.
