Holiday apartments in Neukölln, Berlin

Neukolln in south-east Berlin is a shopper's paradise, but with its village streets, Grecian-style outdoor baths and fantastic facilities for children, it's sure to appeal to people of all ages and interests. Staying here you get to travel to different worlds; take a trip back to the Italian renaissance at the castle, haggle at the Turkish market and go back in time in the well-preserved traditional Bohemian village area. This is a friendly place with lots to do day and night. And you can also get into central Berlin quickly using the U-Bahns that leave from the Rathaus in the centre of Neukölln.

Experience Neukölln like a local

If you fancy some shopping, there's a lot of choice - Gropius Passagen is Berlin's largest shopping mall, but if you prefer picking up something out-of-the-ordinary, Neukölln's markets are famous across the city. As well as the Turkish markets, the Maybachufer is probably the best of the eight bustling markets in the area. And that's not all; a wander down Neukölln Arcades, the commercial centre is a must. In terms of eating and drinking, the Reuter Quarter is home to independent cafes and restaurants and is becoming increasingly popular with artists. However, the main attraction is Rixdorf with the remains of a Bohemian village. Up the hill in Alt-Rixdorf it is simply beautiful. This is the most historic area with quirky winding streets and is home to the particularly scenic Christmas Market. The Britz Castle and gardens feel as though they have been transferred from 15th Century Italy, a scenic spot for a picnic. Don't miss the classical swimming pool and spa - in the Grecian tradition it is a spot for socialising as well as bathing.
