As is to be expected from Berlin’s second-largest and most populous district, Pankow offers a huge amount of variety. From cosmopolitan, bohemian Prenzlauer Berg in the south, through the leafy residential neigbourhoods of Pankow and Weissensee, to increasingly rural landscapes in the north, there is a huge amount to discover. Its history as part of the former GDR can also be felt throughout the district, developing it in unique ways and making some of the most interesting neighbourhoods in the city.
Pankow is well known for young families, small shops, and cosy pubs. While your first thought might be Prenzlauer Berg, right next door is Pankow’s best kept secret: Florakiez.
Kollwitzkiez, the area surrounding Kollwitzplatz, can be found between Danziger Strasse and Metzer Strasse in Prenzlauer Berg. Today, the idyllic façades, large playgrounds, and trendy cafés attract wealthy young families in particular.
