Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain area guide

After Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain are the two districts of former East Berlin that have changed the most. Prenzlauer Berg retains pockets of radical energy but is now mostly gentrified, and is full of restaurants and bars for a relaxed meal or drink. Friedrichshain is Berlin's new bohemia, managing a firm connection to the old East Germany and a forward-looking, youthful scene.
