Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg (Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg) is an amazing mixture of Berlin Western and East. The area cannot boast with some special attractions, but here are the funniest parties in the city. The best nightclubs, noisy gatherings of students, the spirit of subcultural Berlin - all this Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Since the 1960s, the originals from all over the country were settled here - from hairy hippārai to acid rares, because the number of low-cost bars, designer shops, vintage second-hand, nightclubs, and, of course, hostels simply rake.
Families with children are not worth sharing here, but youth - very much.

Lichtenberg and Martzan Hellersdorf
Lichtenberg is not the best place for tourists in Berlin. Located next door to Alexanderplatz, this area is almost half populated, alas, disadvantaged people from the countries of the former CIS. But it is possible to see something: Friedrichsfelde Zoo and the Museum of World War II "Berlin-Karlhorst". The Typically Sleeping District Martzan-Hellersdorf is also not the most interesting place, but there were two Berlin "Pearls" - the Martsan recreation park and the Bisdorf Palace Park.

Mitte
Mitte (Mitte) is the "heart" of the city, it was here in the 12th century the current Berlin was born. Spree-separated Sprey River into two parts, Mitte is considered the richest in the attractions of the city district. Before coming to power, Hitler Quarter lived with a cheerful and turntable life - with whole streets of shops, cabaret, theaters and best restaurants in Europe. After Mitte, he turned into a typical official and office district: whole streets were occupied by the ministries and departments, and at Wilhelmstraße, the Giant Reichanceland building appeared.
For the first time in Berlin. Where to go, what to try:
Of course, during the war, the district was practically erased from the face of the Earth and until the 1990s restored it. Today, there are a residence of the Government and Building Buildings, a museum island, the very, television, a cult place for the ladies - the Lafayett Gallery and much more.

Neukelne
Noykeln (Neukolln) is the most multital district of the German capital. Despite the fact that tourists do not recommend this one more times (especially in the dark), it is worth visiting here. It was Noykeln that he suffered at least the Second World War during the fighting, because it is possible to meet a lot of buildings of the end of the 18th - the beginning of the 19th centuries of the Guluntness era. Other "Mast-Si": the building of the local opera and the Richardplace Square.

Pankov (Pankow) is a very quiet and beautiful area that has grown out of a small village of Slavic settlers of early 14th century. It was here that the leaders of the GDR were preferred to live to unite Germany, today in Pankov, mostly ethnic Germans from the middle class inhabit. Attractions: The largest synagogue in the Rakeshtrasse country, the park and the Palace "", as well as the town hall of the beginning of the 20th century.

Ryneniktendorf
Reinickendorf - Berlin's outskirts. On the one hand, it takes most of its part of the industrial zone, on the other - the area is surrounded by forests and lakes, where the inhabitants of the city are like to walk and arrange picnics. Tourists tend to know Reikinendorf at Tegel Airport. Other interesting places are the Palace and Tegel Park, as well as the Tegel Port Cultural Center.

Shpandau
SPANDAU (SPANDAU) is once a separate city, and now the area of \u200b\u200bBerlin is interesting first of all with the walls of his old citadel. The twelve-marked fortress with 4 bastions and the tower is a sample of the perfect military city of the 16th century. In addition to her, Inspanda is interesting: Parks, Lakes, the scene of the infamous prison, Shpandau, where Rudolph Hess passed away, as well as the Old Town with a recreated Kolk Street and the Church of St. Nicholas 13 centuries.

Steglitz-Kenendorf
Steglitz-Zehlendorf (Steglitz-Zehlendorf) is one of the most prestigious areas of the German capital: villas, mansions, parks and forests - its main attractions. It is here that it is worth looking for the best Berlin beach - this is an etrandbad on Lake Gross-Vanze. In the local quarter, the German village, recreated by archaeologists, and the Botanical Garden are interesting.
As a "cherry on the cake" - a library of the Free University of Berlin, designed by the scandalous and ingenious normal Foster.

Tempelhof-Schöneberg
Tempelhof-Schoneberg (Tempelhof-Schoneberg) is perhaps the perfect place for tourists with children. Here is a developed infrastructure, the mass of entertainment, but somehow quieter than in Mitte or the desired Kreuzberg. And the main local attraction should be one of the best zoos in Europe. The peculiarity of the Tempelhof also has - this is the most homosexual district of Berlin, which speaks not only about the tolerance of local residents, but also about the safety of the whole quarter as a whole. By the way, such a status does not mean that every second house is a Bar "Blue Oyster", the general view of the district is quite conservative.
Berlin Zoo
Treps-Köpenik
Finally, Treptow-Köpenik (Treptow-Kopenick) is another "light" city, where parks and lakes replace each other tirelessly. Local sights: Molecule MAN sculpture, symbolizing Berlin's association, Treptt Park with a monument to the Soviet warrior, ancient town hall in Köpenik and the same luxury palace in a baroque style.

We went to Shopping in Berlin in December. Due to the fact that it was originally well planned a program of intensive shopping, almost everyone had time to buy, which was scheduled. Why Berlin, because Milan and Paris are considered the capital of the shopping and a kind of Mecca. Yes, everything is trite simply - in Berlin a huge number of shopping centers, excellent prices (even outside the period of sales), and most importantly, the choice of goods is huge: from the most democratic brands to prestigious Pret-O-Porte class brands.

Planning shopping
In Berlin, the present expanse for shopping. But in order to spend time with benefit, it is best to make a list of purchases that you would like to buy. For example, going to Berlin, we knew exactly what we want to buy: leather bags, shoes, outerwear, suitcase on wheels, casual clothes, and something else on trifles.
Further, on the basis of what area you live can plan routes. If the area is not very attached to the area, then you can split the shopping into several parts: for example, there is a shopping of everyday non-brand things and Luxury Shopping.
For good, good-quality everyday things with discounts, you can go to the street Wilmersdorfer Strase (department stores TK Maxx, [Email Protected], Karlstad).
For the purchase of luxury goods it is best to go to the area of \u200b\u200bKurfurstendamm (abbreviated KU-DAMM). Here is the famous Kadiewe huge shopping center, and many other brand stores, such as Maxmara, Tommy Hilfiger, Louis Vuitton, Prada. This is the main trading route in Berlin. Especially in the case when time is disastrously lacking. Along with the famous brands here you can also meet brands C & A, Zara, Mango and H & M.
Also, the eastern part of Berlin also cannot be accessed, where Friedrichstrasse Street is considered the main trading center. Lovers of expensive boutiques will find here Hermes, Hugo Boss, Escada. Especially it is necessary to celebrate the Quartier 205 shopping center (as well as Quartier 206 and Quartier 207). In the same area there is a famous lafayette gallery.
Just below in our story you can find a detailed description of these areas and specific stores.
When planning shopping in Berlin, it is necessary to take into account that most shops, including food, closed on Sundays. On weekdays and on Saturday, most large stores work from 10-00 to 20-00 (some up to 18-00), but still before the visit, it is better to go to the site of a particular store and make sure. However, this rule does not apply during periods of sales: we saw with our own eyes, as during the Christmas holidays, large department stores were open and on Sundays too, and also worked longer than usual.
Sales in Berlin
During the sales period in Berlin, fashion will fly from around the world. Especially many Russians here, because it is worth flying all anything - 2, 5 hours. Seasonal sales are held 2 times a year, however, before Merry Christmas (from December 1 to December 25) there are already discounts in stores, although not maximum.
Winter sale: Starts on the last Monday of January.
Summer Sale:starts on the last Monday of July.
Fits sales exactly 2 weeks. At this time, discounts on well-known labels reach 70%.
One of the popular sites for shopping during the sales period is the Kadiewe department store located near the Wittenbergplatz metro station.
Personal experience
We were in Berlin in early December, just 4 days.
During this period, there were no high-profile sales in Berlin, so we did not spend time on expensive brand brands. The main areas where we traveled to shopping were: Wilmersdorfer Straße, Kurfurstendamm and Alexanderplatz.
Our shopping route in the Wilmersdorfer Strase area
Wilmersdorfer Strase. - Very popular shopping street of Charlottenburg district, here there are many interest of shopping centers.
The first shopping stop was a huge shop - TK Maxx.
Address: TK Maxx Berlin Kant-Center, Wilmersdorfer Strase 108, 10627 Berlin, official website www.tkmaxx.de. Operations: from Monday to Saturday from 9-00 to 21-00.
TK Maxx - This is a huge discount shop, which occupies the area of \u200b\u200babout 3700 square meters. Here you can find men's and women's clothing, accessories, bags. Prices are always with discounts up to 60%. What we managed to buy here: leather bags for 70 euros, leather shoes for 30 euros, sweatshirts for 30 euros. Brands mostly famous, but things are quite high-quality. One of the minuses of the store is that in things you need to dig, and in the literal sense to refuse what suits you. We recommend visiting it in the morning, because by 14 o'clock the store becomes more like a second-hand, as things can be scattered.
[Email Protected] - This is a German network store PEEK @Cloppenburg (address: Tauentzienstraße 19), which was founded in 1901. In the assortment female and men's clothing of various brands, different price categories. Quality should be noted - even the simplest things are made of good fabrics. Here are various German brands of casual wear. Classic knitted sweatshirts of all colors and sizes, checkered shirts of various style, denim and velveter skirts, colored pants, in general, all that we wear every day.
Lesier - In this huge shop, endless ranks of shoes for every day are presented. It is worth saying that there is a lot of "slag" on the shelves, but you can find something interesting.
Our shopping route in Kurfurstendamm
In the area of \u200b\u200bKu Dame there are many shops and shopping centers for every taste. We made a number of purchases in the Karlstadt store, I, for example, bought a wonderful German suitcase for 110 euros. On Kurfurstendam Street, we also visited Karen Millen and Marco Polo. There were small discounts in the stores, so we left with ku-ladies with huge bags.

DEPARTMENT STORE QUARTIER 206
Transfer now to another part of Berlin, oriental. If you are a perfume maniac, then you are a straight road to the Quartier 206 department store with a huge and even exclusive choice of perfumery and cosmetics. This grand building in a black and white cage built a glass pyramid creator in Louvre Yo Min Pei. The concept of Quartier 206 is close to the format of the so-called luxury department store, where the most prestigious fashion industry brands are collected. Luxury boutiques are on the second floor -Prada, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Etro, Yves Saint Laurent, from where, with the arrival of a new collection, things with a mark-up fall into the Last Season store below.

Lafayette Gallery (Galeries Lafayette)
The store Galeries Lafayette is located on Friedrichstrasse. The building is very remarkable from an architectural point of view. The architect of the department store Jean Nouvele built Berlin Galeries Lafayette in the shape of a glass funnel. The most spectacular view opens from the first floor, where cosmetics and accessories are sold. As for the set of brands, then, unfortunately, the choice is small. Some bags and glasses -Michael Kors, Fendi, Salvatore Ferragamo, Burberry, Chanel. Cosmetics and perfume, yes, there are also varied. On the female floor -Emerican Vintage, Burberry, Karen Millen and a slightly slightly design jeans, like 7 for All Mankind. There is a department with an inexpensive Cashmere Jodhpur (just like in the Paris Galeries Lafayette). I advise you to go to the youth department, there is a good slim knitwear. In general, shopping in the Berlin Galeries Lafayette - how lucky, but the place itself deserves visits.
Galeries Lafayette is located at Friedrichstrasse 76-78

The oldest airport in Germany. Now on his field there is a huge park, where you can ride a bike, take a walk or arrange a picnic - there are places for the grill (though, it needs to be brought with me). There are scooters, segways and bicycles on site. Fans of the military theme should go on a tour: visit bunkers, a chemical protection unit, a power plant and an arrival hall.

The indoor market of the XIX century is an alternative to the tourist Markthalle IX in Kreuzberg, only without street zoo and tourists. In addition to product stands, here with their German cuisine, Vietnamese, Italians, but we recommend Fish and Chips, which can be ordered at the Brewbaker bar, taking the Kreuzberger Tag Beer, Bellevue Pils or IPA, cooked in Berlin. Right behind the bar - a cozy room with drape sofas and a lamp.

Beer dark, bright, seasonal, jersey and juice from Brandenburg apples, and for a snack - Bresen or Alsatian flamekugen (pie with bow, bacon and cheese). Food, by the way, can be brought with you. Here is well in summer, when a beer garden is opened in the yard. The owner of the beer - Markus, a graduate of the Technical University of Berlin, often works for the counter. He will be happy to tell about his way to success if it gives a minute of time.
ZierVogels Kult Curry.

Do not think that popular national dishes are offered only in tourist restaurants. Berliners love curry sausages, and Kult Curry proposes to eat them in a relaxed atmosphere of a cafe, where a different public is going to lunch - from painters-installers to programmers and marketers from the surrounding offices. Pay attention to Menu 2, Scharf Zwei (medium acuity) - two sausages with potatoes, ketchup, mayonnaise and drink. If you have dinner, from dinner will refuse very easy.
The choice of hotel in Berlin (Berlin) - the case is extremely responsible, considering that the German capital is a big city and, if you can put it, saturated, and therefore the risk that you will have to get out additional kilometers at the end of the busy run on museums or shops, is pretty great. First you need to decide for what purpose you decided to visit Berlin, and what is the budget of your trip to the cost of accommodation. This depends on the choice of discollocation area.
In which district of Berlin to stop?
If you plan to spend a day or another in Berlin, dedicate this time to walks in the center, and then go somewhere in Saxony or Thuringia, then it is worth considering for living mitte district (Mitte) (List of hotels in this area see). This is the very heart of Berlin, here is located and the famous Unter Den Linden (Unter Den Linden) with its majestic buildings and shops, and the Brandenburg Gate, and Reichstag. The area from the west is limited to Tiergarten Park, from the east - the museum island, from the north - the river Sprey, and from the south, the border can be conditionally carried out by Lypziger Strasse (Leipziger Str.). For walking in the center, you can use a special excursion bus, and you can go through it and on foot, especially if the weather allows. The advantages of the district are obvious: its strategic location, street saturation by shops and restaurants, but at the same time here are the most expensive in the city of hotels, and if you are planning from the surroundings of Berlin, then living here will have to spend time to get to Central Railway Station (Hauptbahnhof), located across the River from Reichstag. In addition, there are practically no shops in the center where ordinary products sell, so or you need to worry about mineral and wine in advance, or use the non-checked hotel minibar. In Germany's hotels, in addition, it is often a cute wisdom of freeze on your card for a certain amount as a deposit in case if you want to escape without paying the minibar, which is defined after some time automatically. Often this amount is essential and can make even 50 euros for every day of your stay. In expensive hotels, a paid Internet is often found (usually within 20 euros per day). It should be borne in mind that the European (in particular, German) "four" and "fives" is not Turkey and not Egypt, and in hotels of this category, it is not necessary to have a bathrobe and slippers in the room, "Stars" are not assigned to the hotel at all slippers.
And the most important thing when choosing Berlin as a place of content - dates and again dates! In addition to the Berlin Film Festival, the city has a huge number of exhibitions - during these periods, hotels grow at times, therefore, before going to Berlin, it is worth not to be lazy and check out the price of hotels.

Since then, Irena changed the name to Victoria and began to personify the victory.
