Here are the top 5 things any traveler should do on a trip to the Prenzlauer Berg district in Berlin.

1. Cafes and Unique Dining

One of the fun things to do in Prenzlauer Berg is to bathe yourself in the atmosphere of the region. This can be accomplished by sitting in a café and watching a variety of personalities and unique individuals parade by.

The Kulturbrauerei was once a brewery and has become a unique conglomeration of various curious shops, dining areas and specialty shops. It's here that a meal of insects can be enjoyed, and that various cinematic features can be viewed that depict a different genre of movies.

2. The Berlin Wall

The remnants of the Berlin Wall can be viewed in this district. It can be found in Mauerpark, located at the end of a street named Eberswalder. Many youths gather together today in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, to enjoy the surroundings.

3. The Jewish Cemetery

Another significant area that you must visit in Prenzlauer Berg, is the Jewish Cemetery. This is especially meaningful given the history of the Jewish people who resided in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s.  The graveyard is a grim reminder of the tribulation that the Jewish people experienced. You can pay your respects to the victims of the Holocaust and stand near the graves of the famous painter Max Liebermann, and composer Giacomo Meyerbeer.

4. Gethsemane Church

One other unique must see memorial in the midst of this unique district is the Gethsemane Church. This church is rich in history, as it was the meeting place for the German Democratic Republic, when plans and action called for resistance. The GDR  was a communist state in political terms.

5. Art

Prenzlauer Berg has become a magnet for aspiring European and American artists. The popularity of this area is due to the appeal of studying overseas, coupled with the availability of reasonable artistic studios and apartments for living.
