Explore the East Side Gallery, Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg

This walk is perfect for a sunny day, as all the sites are outdoors. For an optimal experience, consider visiting on a Friday or Tuesday when the Turkish Market takes place.

To begin, take the M10 line to Warschauer Straße, the last stop in Friedrichshain, known for its vibrant nightlife. Behind you is the RAW area, offering a variety of attractions such as restaurants, clubs, bars, bouldering and climbing areas, an outdoor swimming pool, and vintage furniture stores. This is also where a lot of Berlin's nightlife happens.

But our walk starts with the East Side Gallery, the longest part of the wall that has been painted by graffiti artists. Walk along and when you are done head across the bridge to Kreuzberg. Kreuzberg is probably Berlin’s most popular district with the most expensive rents. It has a gritty feel and lots of street art. You can have a beer or a meal right by the canal in the Freischwimmer. Behind the Freischwimmer is an area that turns into a night club called Ipse at night. If you head right through it during the day you will find a place where you can rent kayaks and pedal boats to explore the Spree.

Opposite of the Freischwimmer is an outdoor club that is build right on top of the river. It’s really nice and called Club der Visionäre.

If you fancy a swim or want to hang out at a beach bar you can head to the Badeschiff, a swimming pool build inside a ship that is on the Spree. If the weather is nice, go for a walk along the canal until you reach the Lohmühle Comune. Here people are living inside of colourful trailers. You are allowed to have a look around, it's a really cool place. But be respectful you are basically in someone else's home.

Go across the river and walk across the infamous Görlitzer Park. If you are hungry, you will find a “Hühnerhaus” chicken roasting place at the other end of the park. It’s cheap and tasty.

If you aren’t tired yet, and its Friday or Tuesday, you can check out the Turkish Market on the Maybacher Ufer. On a sunny day there might be street musicians performing and its easy to find something tasty to eat.

Finish off your day by grabbing a beer at a Späti and hanging out on Admiralsbrücke or by the waterside with the Hipsters.

And if you want to go out dancing, the queer friendly SO36, where David Bowie used to party, is only a couple of blocks away.
