Experience Berlin Pankow like a local

Whether you visit Pankow in summer or winter, one of your first ports of call must be Weißer See, the beautiful, peaceful lake has been a favourite weekend spot for generations of Berliners.

If you're visiting Berlin in winter, don't miss the legendary Christmas markets, so colourful and packed to bursting with delicious delicacies. Strolling in the Mauer Park, particularly on a Sunday as the locals do, is a must for anyone on a romantic break in Berlin, you can also take in a show here at the amphitheatre. After all this chilling out, you can get your brain cells working again at the Botanical Gardens, or the Zeiss Planetarium - it's one of the largest in Europe. Then head over to KulturBrauerei; the former breweries now dedicated to Pankow's growing crowd of resident artists.
