The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg (Borough), Germany
Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

This mile-long stretch of the Berlin Wall is one of the largest remaining portions of the former divide between East and West Germany.

I love street art and urban walks, this is an excellent venue for the the voice of artists from around the world to express historical viewpoints on East/West Germany as well as contemporary social expression. It's literally the longest remaining part of the wall, preserved and patched I would assume. Its free and easy to get to, not too far to walk and cabs are readily available if you prefer. The walk is gritty and in my opinion, part of the experience. Stop by the outside food market on the way, it's a very "Greenwich Village" feel and a good place to grab some street food and drink.

This West Berlin neighborhood has long been a nexus for Berlin's socially alternative population.

One of if not the most Turkish neighborhood in the city, with tons of gentrifying hipsters too and a few old punks. Hands down you will find the best and cheapest Turkish food here, you can also find expensive Turkish food as well. Either way, its all sensational stuff. There is something on every corner, blocks of small businesses in between large blocks of residences. Graffiti everywhere. Kotbusser tor is good place to look for food, that surrounding round street has some of the best ones. There is quire a lot of nightclubs, bit more underground and inviting than the pretentious famous ones people wait two hours in line for just to be turned away.
