Why is Pankow good for families?
Because inner-city proximity meets relaxed living: wide period-building streets, playgrounds, cafés with a kids' corner and Mauerpark as the weekend living room. Distances are short and the pace is calmer than in Mitte or Friedrichshain.
Family rooms and especially aparthotels with a kitchenette (ideal from three nights) are more common here than the city average - good for families who do not want to eat out every evening.
Which hotels in Pankow do we recommend?
A genuine original is the Hotel Oderberger in the former public baths of 1902 - with the historic swimming pool preserved and family rooms, a few minutes from Mauerpark. Myer's Hotel near Kollwitzplatz and the Ackselhaus with its themed rooms stand for personal boutique charm.
For longer stays with children, the Living Hotel Weißensee with fully equipped apartments and its own park is the most practical choice.
What can you do nearby with children?
The Sunday flea market and karaoke in Mauerpark, playing and picnicking on the big meadow, ice cream at Kollwitzplatz. The Kulturbrauerei has cinema and events, while the Botanischer Volkspark Pankow and Schönhausen Palace sit in the green north.
