One of Berlin's better known squares. Art deco design and a great place for shopping. Home to a weekly open air market (on Thursdays and Saturdays) as well as a variety of pubs, restaurants and cafes.
A series of eight inter-connected courtyards filled with numerous shopping and dining options.
Owned by the Dead Chickens art collective, this alley is a prime example of Berlin's street art culture. The art here changes constantly, with new works appearing almost daily.
Part of Museum Island, the Bode Museum is best known for its collection of medals and coins, as well as being the location for the theft of the world's largest gold coin.
Oranienburger Str. is known for its nightlife, bars and restaurants. It is also home to Tacheles, the former department-store-turned-art-collective.
Historic church in trendy Prenzlauerberg. Climb to the top of the bell tower for a stunning view of the city.
Originally built in 1913 to be a "theatre of the people."
Originally built in Berlin's roaring 1920s, the theatre today is great venue for film festivals, musicals and literary events.

So, as is my Berlin tradition, on Tuesday I took a cycle tour, in this case the Secrets of Berlin tour with Fat Tire Tours, going from Alexanderplatz, taking in the area around Hackescher Markt and up into Prenzlauerberg. My guide was the lovely Yali, and there was supposed to be another group of eleven with us, who had all due to illness pulled out, leaving me with an individual tour guide. Initial thinking was that because there were just the two of us, we might finish slightly ahead of schedule, we did however run slightly over as we never stopped finding additional conversation points. Highlights for me, the courtyards at Hackescher Markt, the graffiti art and artists collective in the area, Otto Weidt’s workshop for the blind and deaf (if you are unfamiliar with his efforts to save vulnerable people from the Nazis do a quick google search), coffee and radler stops with Yali, and the trip not open to the public to the top of the church tower In Prenzlauerberg and it’s attendant views. The real highlight, 3.5 hours of intelligent conversation in the company of Yari.
