Home of alternative this and that

Kreuzberg is an area of Berlin which, unlike most others, has not seen as much change as others since the fall of the wall. Once noted for riots and disruptive events, the area is now home to all things "alternative", which sort of makes sense. Shopping, clubbing and dining are the draws here.

Any number of hip and fashionable shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs line the streets of this interesting part of Berlin. Gone is all the disruption and anarchy, but still the tone of unrest reflects in the sights and sounds coming from local bars and nightspots. Alternative rock to the gay community and even the cuisine offer a sort of separate reality for tourists especially. If trendy alternative lifestyles are you bag, this is one of the places to visit in the city.
