A collaborative guide to Berlin.
This platz around the crumbling Zionskirche is (in 2002) one of the most desirable places to live in Mitte. It’s a few blocks from Oderbergerstrasse and just off Kastanienalle, and right around the corner from the Arkonaplatz junk market on Saturdays. My favorite breakfasts are served at Kapelle (but avoid the run of the mill Kommode on the opposite corner). Wander around the streets to the northwest to find the path of the Wall preserved in the Mauerpark. The neighbourhood is a nice mix of lavishly restored streetfront houses and more normal hofs (back courtyards) for artists and students.
