Kreuzberg

From November 11, 2026, Restaurant Jolesch in Berlin's Kreuzberg will offer its popular Goose to Go. The goose brings a piece of Austrian tradition directly to your home. The vegan celery-based option is also a highlight that will make vegetarian hearts beat faster.

UpCycle Berlin builds custom-made furniture from old Berlin construction timber in its own studio at Moritzplatz. Only untreated, solid fir from demolitions and construction sites is processed, with patina, scratches and branding marks. A construction timber bed costs between 880 and 1,520 Euros depending on size, and a wood sample is sent on request.

Rutz Zollhaus is located in a listed half-timbered house from 1901 directly on the Landwehrkanal in Kreuzberg. Around 200 wine selections, with a focus on Germany and Austria, are on the menu, along with their own bottlings under the name Rutz Rebellen. The establishment functions particularly well as a wine bar in the vineyard garden with views of the water.

In the Graefekiez, hats for women, men and children hang on red walls and in colourful shelf cubes. The range runs from flat caps, fedoras, trilbies and pork pies to bowler hats and top hats, plus fascinators and hair accessories. Customers are advised by face shape, and the search continues until the headwear truly fits.

High above Kreuzberg, on Stresemannstraße near Anhalter Bahnhof, the Solar Sky-lounge & Restaurant is enthroned on the 16th and 17th floors of a high-rise building. Those who enter the glass external elevator land 70 meters above the Berlin skyline, trading street level for a 270-degree panoramic view over the entire capital.

For beautiful legs in Kreuzberg, the Flying Steps Academy is a must-visit: Germany's largest street dance school trains legs that truly have something to say. Over 20 dance styles, world champions as founders, and more than 4,000 students per week speak for themselves.

In the green area behind the Bethanien Art Quarter, approximately 300 deck chairs are set up under old trees, along with seat cushions and free fleece blankets. Arthouse films, international classics, and award-winning works are continuously shown here in original versions with German or English subtitles, and the access is wheelchair-friendly.

Curry 36 at Mehringdamm carries the house number in its name: the first stand was a cart just over a metre wide in the building's entrance, with the 36 still visible beside it. Today there is currywurst with and without casing, from Havelland apple pork and in a vegan version, plus an own ketchup with 87 percent tomato paste.

The Liquidrom is located in the Kuppelhalle on Möckernstraße in Kreuzberg. In DOME 36, you float in 36-degree warm salt water and hear music beneath the surface. Additionally, there are five saunas and steam baths, a warm outdoor pool, a dark relaxation area, and a cold plunge pool. The shortest tariff is 90 minutes and costs 22 Euros.

On Paul-Lincke-Ufer by the Landwehrkanal, Sebastian Frank has been cooking a vegetable cuisine since 2010 that has earned two Michelin stars without meat, fish or luxury ingredients. His menu is called the Horváth Experience, holds six main courses for 240 euros, and the award-winning non-alcoholic juice pairing stands on equal footing with the wine.
