Trendy, bohemian, arty Kreuzberg was just on the other side of the wall from Freidrichshain, and the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall is a slice from between these two suburbs, housed in the famous East Side Gallery. Both areas are known for their eclectic look, with architecture ranging from graceful, 19th century apartment buildings to boxy concrete flats from the 60s and 70s, and the best hotels in Kreuzberg are an eclectic bunch as well.
If you choose to stay in Kreuzberg you’ll be close to the Berlin Jewish Museum, the German Museum of Technology and Science, the Nazi Museum: the Topography of Terror, the Landwehkanal - canal, and Viktoriapark and Görlitzer Park
