1 4 KREUZBERG 3 3 4 Street art


From Mehringdamm, get the U-Bahn to Gorlitzer Bahnhof. In the east of the area towards the River Spree, which separates Kreuzberg from the equally animated neighbourhood of Friedrichshain, is some of the city’s best street art. Look out for the vast Astronaut Cosmonaut by French artist Victor Ash adorning the side of a building on Mariannenstrasse, which was partly inspired by David Bowie’s music. On Oranienstrasse you’ll spy a mural by Belgian artist ROA, which features animals such as a deer and a stork in reference to the fauna that once roamed the area. On a smaller, more temporary scale, and thus less liable to a heſty fine from the authorities, are intricate sticker works and other removable pieces. Guided walks are available from Alternative Berlin Tours. alternativeberlin.com

Don’t miss the nearby Markthalle Neun (closed Sundays). Tis covered market reopened in 2011 aſter an absence of 120 years and is home to dozens of stalls selling local and international specialities. Not only is it a way to indulge your inner glutton, but the market is also a great place to get to grips with the character of Kreuzberg. So, too, is the Turkish Market to the south, where you can find a taste of Istanbul, complete with haggling, on Tuesdays and Fridays. If it’s summer, carry on to Badeschiff, a floating outdoor pool on the Spree that has excellent riverside views and plenty of options for an alfresco drink. BT
