Highlights of 2026

Berlin-Neukölln is undeniably one of the most animated and culturally diverse districts in the German capital, instantly captivating visitors with its uniquely raw yet incredibly welcoming energy. The absolute highlight of the area is the Tempelhofer Feld, the massive grounds of a former airport whose seemingly endless runways are now a giant urban playground for skaters, cyclists, and picnickers under the open sky. Along the lively Sonnenallee and Karl-Marx-Straße, a true global culinary journey unfolds, where authentic Arabic bakeries, ultra-hip vegan cafes, and traditional Berlin corner pubs harmoniously coexist side by side. For a welcoming step back in time, visitors can explore the historic Bohemian Village around Richardplatz in Rixdorf, where quiet cobblestone streets beautifully preserve Neukölln's rural, village-like past. As evening falls, Weserstraße becomes the absolute hotspot with its high density of trendy bars, creative boutiques, and independent art galleries. The excellent end to any day here is a trip up to the Klunkerkranich, a lush rooftop garden offering absolutely wide-open panoramic views over the skyline.
