Mitte<\/h2>\n
Mitte literally translates as \u2018middle\u2019. This is the beating heart of the city, and one of the best neighbourhoods to stay in if you\u2019re in Berlin just for the weekend. You\u2019ll be surrounded by hip bars<\/a>, excellent coffee, world-class museums<\/a>, and cool street art.<\/p>\n This is also the historic centre of the city, steeped in amazing architecture and a fascinating past. Many of Berlin\u2019s most iconic sites are in walking distance, including the Brandenburg Gate, the TV tower at Alexanderplatz, the Museum Island and the glass-domed Reichstag Building.<\/p>\n The heavenly buns at\u00a0Zeit F\u00fcr Brot are a valid reason to move to Berlin\u00a0?<\/a> @chantelrose<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Hostels in Mitte<\/a> | Cheap flights to Berlin<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n Kreuzberg feels like its own self-contained island, bordered by the Spree and a network of canals. It\u2019s laid-back, spacious and bohemian with plenty going on any time of the day or night.\u00a0Despite the invasion of hipster tourists in recent years, Kreuzberg is still one of the city\u2019s best neighbourhoods in Berlin for backpackers with plenty of cheap bars, cheap food and cool people. If you\u2019re an arty type wondering where to stay in Berlin then look no further \u2013 you\u2019ll be surrounded by artists, writers and musicians from all over the world.<\/p>\n If you’re visiting on May 1st prepare to watch Kreuzberg celebrate its rebellious roots as the area around Kotbusser Tor becomes one big, loud and quite mad street party.<\/p>\n Hostels in Kreuzberg<\/a> | Cheap flights to Berlin<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n Another very cool neighbourhood in the east, adjoining Kreuzberg, and worth staying in if you find the former a little too hectic. There are parks, wide streets, canal side walks, and a street, Sonnenallee, that is so famous there is even a film made about it. Hurry, though, because Neukolln is fast becoming the new Kreuzberg \u2013 that is, the<\/em> place to hang out in Berlin.<\/p>\n Hostels in Neuk\u00f6lln<\/a> | Cheap flights to Berlin<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n This neighbourhood just north of Mitte was once the anti-establishment heartland of Berlin, with numerous squats and illegal parties. It was also one of the first neighbourhoods to succumb to the ever-advancing wave of gentrification in the city, transforming the area into a more sedate affair that\u2019s all about the weekend brunching and relaxation.<\/p>\n Although a lot of the art crowd has since moved on, it still retains a cool, bohemian atmosphere, and, being a short hop from both Mitte and Friedrichshain, is the best place to stay in Berlin if you want a more chilled stay without being too detached from the action. Prenzlauer Berg is also the setting for Hans Fallada\u2019s phenomenal Alone In Berlin.<\/em><\/p>\n Hostels in Prenzlauer Berg<\/a>\u00a0| Cheap flights to Berlin<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n Friedrichshain is one of the most popular places to stay\u00a0in Berlin, mainly thanks to its legendary nightlife and world-famous Berghain. This neighbourhood is unashamedly rough around the edges, so expect heavily pierced and tattoed locals, dilapidated buildings, and even more dog poo than is usual for Berlin.<\/p>\n Top tip: Brits should set their party clock to Berlin time, which means pre-napping and not leaving the house before 11pm.<\/p>\n![\"where](\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_0019.jpg\")
