Is Neukölln worth staying in?
For price-conscious, curious travelers: absolutely. You stay in a lively, multicultural quarter with galleries, bars, corner stores and one of Berlin's best street-food scenes - at prices below the tourist hotspots.
If you want quiet elegance or classic sightseeing on your doorstep, you are better off elsewhere; Neukölln trades on atmosphere rather than polish.
Which places to stay stand out?
The Hüttenpalast is genuinely one of a kind: in a former factory hall you sleep in vintage travel trailers and hand-built cabins - plus conventional rooms and a café in the courtyard. The huge Estrel Berlin on Sonnenallee is Germany's largest convention hotel, with its own show stage and good value for money.
What should you experience in Neukölln?
The Turkish market on the Maybachufer (Tuesdays and Fridays), sundowners with a skyline view at the Klunkerkranich, Bohemian Rixdorf and the café scene around Körnerpark. Tempelhofer Feld borders the district directly.

Frequently asked questions
Is Neukölln safe? +
The lively parts around the Reuterkiez, Schillerkiez and Rixdorf count as safe and are well frequented in the evening. As in any big city it pays to keep your wits about you at night - but the area is by no means dangerous.
How do I get to the center? +
The U7 and U8 plus the ring line put you in Mitte or at Alexanderplatz in 15–20 minutes. Kreuzberg is right next door.
What does a hotel in Neukölln cost? +
Budget properties and special concepts start at around €95; the Estrel sits at roughly €110 - with a very high room count for Berlin and good availability.
Neukölln or Kreuzberg - which is better? +
Kreuzberg is somewhat more central and more geared to nightlife, Neukölln cheaper and in parts still rougher. They border each other, so you are quickly in the other quarter.
