The apartment is situated in the Barnimjstrasse which bends off Otto Braunstrasse beforfe this turns into Greifwalderstrasse. This is an ideal location to live for a short as well as longer period. Tram and buss stops are just a few hundred meters away and even footwise it is easy to reach the Alexanderplatz and the lovely Friedrichshein park. It is a quiet corner of the area, a big backyeard on one side and the lazy Barnimstrasse on the other.
Knowing the right location to stay when you first visit a big city can be tricky. Berlin is a city like no other. The ‘city centre’ is not as clearly defined as other big cities and even though the wall is gone, the divisions can still be felt: through architecture, fashion, demographics and culture.
Berlin has everything you could hope for from a national capital, from world-class museums and an efficient public transport network to shops, markets, and a dynamic arts scene. Here are some pointers to get you started in the German capital.
The city is more than 775 years old and over the decades, all generations have left their monuments and landmarks in town. The densest array of sights in Berlin lies east of the Brandenburg Gate, on either side of Unter den Linden. In the city west visitors should take a look at the broken shard of the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche, which serves as a brutal reminder of World War II. Close by starts the famous boulevard Kurfürstendamm.
