Berlin - Friedrichshain
Friedrichshain is the only central district where major vestiges of the GDR have survived. The prime sight is the East Side Gallery, but be sure to swing by the HQ of the Stasi, the GDR’s omni-present secret police.
- confront the ghosts of the Cold War at the East Side Gallery, the world’s longest outdoor artwork
- party till sunrise in the rough-around-the-edges bars and clubs of former train repair station Raw Gelände
- forage for treasure at this Sunday sell-a-thon flea market on Boxhagener Platz, followed by brunch in a nearby cafe.
Coverage includes: Neighbourhood Top Five, Local Life, Getting There & Away, Sights, Eating, Drinking & Nightlife, Entertainment and Shopping.
