Overview
If you are looking for a break from city life, you will feel at home in Reinickendorf. Green spaces mix with industrial, post-modern architecture, but things seem to move much slower in this district. While it may lack in nightlife, this area is great for families.
What can I do here?
Here, life revolves around Tegel lake, where you can rent boats, windsurf, swim, play mini golf, or just stroll along Greenwichpromenade. For an evening out, visit the many bars and restaurants on Kurt-Schumacher-Platz, or Zelt der Sinne, an oriental theater and restaurant with a live orchestra!
Fascinating fact
More than a quarter of this district consists of green spaces and water.
