Berlin

Berlin has 30 neighbourhoods and more than 1,000 places. The Scheunenviertel, round the Hackesche Höfe, is where you book a long dinner, and Prenzlauer Berg is a late breakfast along Kastanienallee. Scheunenviertel has the most on 82, then Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte on 64 each.

Start here

Busiest neighborhoods first.

82 places

Scheunenviertel

Scheunenviertel has more saved places than any other area in our Berlin data, and the pattern is a small shop with something to eat next door.

64 places

Mitte

Mitte is the Berlin on the postcard, and the better places sit in the courtyards off the main streets.

64 places

Prenzlauer Berg

This is Prenzlauer Berg beyond the named Kieze around Kollwitzplatz and Helmholtzplatz.
