Splendidly well-groomed Prenzlauer Berg is one of Berlin's most pleasant residential neigh-
bourhoods and a joy to explore on foot. On Sundays, the world descends on its Mauerpark
for flea marketeering, outdoor karaoke and chilling in the sun. A visit to the Gedenkstätte
Berliner Mauer is essential to understanding how the Berlin Wall shaped the city.
Charlottenburg's main artery, the grand Kurfürstendamm, is nirvana for shopaholics and
spills into leafy side streets teeming with boutiques, galleries, cafes and restaurants. Witness
the revitalisation of the area around the landmark Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, a
church ruin turned antiwar memorial, then head out to must-see Schloss Charlottenburg for
a glimpse of royal life.
