Berlin Districts
Berlin is four times the size of Paris, and even though the
city consolidated its 23 districts into 12 in 2001, you’re still
left with 23 self contained areas (Kieze) in which Berliners
often find everything they need. Public transportation is
far-reaching and effective though, and you’ll grow to love it
as you shuttle between the four areas with the most sights:
Charlottenburg, Tiergarten, Mitte and Kreuzberg.
MITTE (MI)
Since reunification, Mitte has rightly snatched back the title
of most-visited district from Charlottenburg. On and off the
boulevard Unter den Linden, whose trees Marlene Dietrich
once extolled in song, are baroque and classical monuments
to Prussian culture. The proximity of state libraries, the State
Opera, Humboldt University, the old Arsenal (now the
German History Museum), Gendarmenmarkt, Museum
Island, Berliner Dom, and the abandoned East German
Parliament building make for more talk, less walk tours. The
architecturally humbler area of Mitte is the Scheunenviertel,

Golf in Berlin
With endless forests, lakes and pretty countryside in all
directions, Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg GOLF IN WALL
offer plenty of opportunities to get out of the city and play
some golf in a calm green setting. The “gentleman’s game”
has evolved a lot since the early days, and now is popular
with people from all walks of life. The fall of the Berlin Wall
25 years ago helped open up many new locations to play
the sport outside of the city. Here we list the main courses
in and around Berlin.
GOLF COURSES
The following golf courses all have driving ranges and
practice facilities; many of them offer Early Bird and Twilight
rates too. The reviews list the type of courses, the driving
time from central Berlin, and the greenfee for weekdays/ All golfers are welcome to enjoy the wide fairways at

the present day. It promotes positions that deal with the
history and politics of memory and representation, with
transformation and approaches to change.
The incredible story of Berlin’s wild 1920s/30s amazes
visitors. Relive the atmosphere of the era at Tipi am
Kanzleramt at the musical version of Cabaret, made
famous in the 1972 film with Liza Minelli. The show
is fabulous, a bit naughty and full of fun - and even if
several of the songs are translated into German (English
notes are available) it’s easy to follow the story. With
seats from only €20 it’s a must-see if you’re in Berlin and

WEST BERLIN REVIVAL
ZWIEBELFISCH
The name Zwiebelfisch is, among other things, the term used
by printers to label a single letter that rebels and appears in a
font unlike the letters around it. Aging, but still-kicking liberals
come here to rest the weight of their youthful ideals and trade
wisecracks with long-time owner Hartmut Volmerhaus. Jazz
or classic music is piped in, and a selection of papers and
magazines helps stretch out the beer or coffee. Hot meals,
like goulash and Swabian Maultaschen are served up until
03:00. The tall tables abutting the bar are a brilliantly social
arrangement.QC‑4, Savignyplatz 7-8, Charlottenburg, MS
Savignyplatz, tel. +49 30 312 73 63, www.zwiebelfisch-
berlin.de. Open 12:00 - 06:00. €-€€. NBSW After the Second World War, the western half of Berlin
found itself in a very curious situation. This group of city
suburbs, which included the chic shopping and theatre
district of Charlottenburg, was suddenly declared a
separate entity from the eastern part of the city, which
included the entire city centre district. After the fall of
the Wall, West Berlin went through a tough decade of
reorientation, as investment and visitors headed east
to the original city centre. Now however, the West is
undergoing something of a revival. Next to the newly
renovated Gedächtniskirche stands the gleaming
new Waldorf Astoria, overlooking the revolutionary
Bikini Berlin concept mall and the linked 25hours
Hotel Bikini Berlin.

The Olympic Stadium was originally built under the
direction of architect Werner March to host the 1936
Olympic Games. A good example of bombastic fascist
architecture, its size never fails to impress. The most
striking changes are the blue track and the seemingly

can visit the stadium using a multi-language audioguide,
or on an hour-long guided tour.QOlympischer Platz

Sightseeing
LANDMARKS
KULTURBRAUEREI
Follow the yellow brick wall of this 19th-century
brewery and you’ll eventually find an entryway into a
nightlife Mecca that resembles an Old Town setting. A
cobblestone pedestrian way courses through the centre
of the complex, whose 25,000 square metres is filled with
bars, restaurants, clubs, galleries and a cinema. The only
thing you won’t find is freshly brewed beer; Schultheiss
shut down production here in 1967. Soda Club is a both
a restaurant and popular nightclub, and Kesselhaus and
Alte Kantine host anything from readings to theater to
live bands.QG‑2, Schönhauser Allee 36-39, Prenzlauer

THE MAYA
VIKTORIAPARK
Before heading up the hill, crowned with Karl Friedrich
Schinkel’s memorial to the Napoleonic Wars, go to the
corner of Kreuzbergstraße and Großbeerenstraße for an
eyeful of the park’s waterfall, constructed in the late 19th
century. Kids stripped to their knickers wade in between
the shallow, tiered levels. 65 metres above, people lean
back against the graffiti-laden monument to take in
the panoramic view. Towards the back of the park, past
a playground and off the Bacci field, is the Golgotha
beer garden. Running parallel to Kreuzbergstraße is a
small petting zoo where children and goats get to meet
and bleat.QF‑5, Kreuzbergstraße, Kreuzberg, MU

River tours
After flowing a bucolic 400km from the Czech border
region to Berlin, the river Spree goes out with a bang before
disappearing into the Havel near Spandau. Cutting a curvy
passage through Berlin, it provides tremendous views of
the Dom cathedral, the Reichstag and the government
district and the Berlin Wall near Ostbahnhof. Some of the
Spree is diverted along park-lined canals, and Berlin has
more bridges than Venice or Amsterdam.
Short city centre cruise tours depart regularly from the

boat landings near the Museumsinsel, Friedrichstraße,
Hauptbahnhof station and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt
in the park. The 3.5-hour Brücke (bridges) tours cruise past
all the city centre sights, down Landwehrkanal and past the CHARTERTRIPS ON
