Mauerpark

Mauerpark is a park in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg. It's best known for its Sunday flea market, vibrant atmosphere, karaoke, and local artists. It's also a great place for walks or sporting activities on other days of the week.

Best sightseeing tours & tips

If you're looking for the easiest and cheapest way to see the city, I'd suggest buying a day pass for the public buses. Take the 100 or 200 bus lines and hop on and off at the most important historical sites in Berlin.

I'm a big fan of Limehome Apartments. You enter with a code, and there's no service staff on site. The apartment is in Prenzlauer Berg, a really nice area, and it's set in a typical Berliner house.
