Nowhere is the city as dynamic and colorful as in the urban district of Friedrichshain. The neighborhood is a conglomerate of diverse lifestyles, allowing young people and the young at heart the freedom to continually reinvent themselves. Especially in the last decade, the former industrial and working-class district has evolved into a sought-after center for design, fashion, art, music, and entertainment, attracting people from all over the world. The Mediaspree area with the Uber-Benz Arena, Universal Music, Coca-Cola, as well as the East-Side Gallery, is an impressive testament to this development. The trendy bars, diverse restaurants, fashionable clubs, and cozy cafés are known throughout the city. There is a suitable location for every need and taste: from snack bars to fine dining, from simple to upscale, from hidden to grand stage. There are also shopping opportunities for daily necessities, as well as weekly vegetable and flea markets. Boxhagener Platz, for instance, offers delicious regional products during the stroll over the weekly market on Saturdays. Should you want to reach other parts of the city, you have the best conditions thanks to the excellent connections to public transportation with various tram and bus lines and the S-Bahn station Ostkreuz within walking distance. Despite all the liveliness, you will also find retreats here: spaces for relaxation and sports activities are offered not only by the Friedrichshain Spreeufer but also by numerous parks and green spaces in the surroundings.
