Also known as Casting Alley, the road that connects the
districts of Mitte with Prenzlauer Berg is a delightful mix
of independent boutiques, shops, beer garden and cafés

Started by a group of
young Berlin designers,
EISDIELER
is the best
place on the street to
find a mix of clubwear,
second-hand gear,
casualwear and street
style, like vintage
Ray-Ban sunglasses,
assorted headphones,
Le Coq Sportif trainers,
and shoes by Schmoove
and Veja.

PRATERGARTEN,
Berlin’s oldest beer
garden, has been
serving beer since 1837.
Once a place for
entertainment – with a
theatre, cabaret, cinema
and boxing club – as
well as political
gatherings, today it’s a
splendid spot to sit
beneath chestnut trees
or go for a homemade
schnitzel.

Located right on the
bustling corner of
Kastanienallee and
Schöenhauser Allee,
ZARTBITTER
is one of
the street’s best-known
stores – a long, narrow
haven of mens- and
womenswear, including
labels Nudie Jeans,
Spoom, Diesel, Dixie
and Firetrap.

Before it became the
place to get colourful
cans, Eisdieler’s
premises were an
ice-cream parlour
