Understand

Steglitz-Zehlendorf, a borough in the southwest of Berlin, is a hidden gem that offers both natural beauty and cultural experiences. Known as the wealthiest part of Berlin, Zehlendorf boasts numerous lakes, forests, and museums. The famous Wannsee, with its inviting Strandbad, attracts families and visitors alike during hot summer weekends. But Zehlendorf has more to offer than just the Wannsee; there are other lakes where bathing is allowed and even free. In 2001, Steglitz merged with Zehlendorf, creating an extraordinary residential and shopping district. Although less touristy, Steglitz has its own charm and is a great place to explore for those seeking an ordinary yet pleasant neighborhood. Zehlendorf, on the other hand, caters more to tourists with its fascinating museums, beautiful nature, and historic castles. Tempelhof-Schneberg, another borough of Berlin, is a diverse combination of industrial areas and peaceful living spaces for families. The closure of the Tempelhof airport in October 2008 brought forth new possibilities for this region. Neuklln, a district in Berlin with a rich history of being a working-class area, is now experiencing a vibrant transformation. In recent years, the northern part of Neuklln, known as Kreuzklln, has become a hub for students and artists, injecting new energy into the neighborhood. Treptow-Kpenick, a borough of Berlin, is a captivating blend of history, nature, and urban transformation. Kpenick offers an enchanting old town, a magnificent castle, and breathtaking lakes and forests. Treptow, on the other hand, is a predominantly residential district cherished by Berliners for its expansive parklands and stunning views of the River Spree. It also holds remnants of its industrial past, some of which have been repurposed into cultural or shopping areas, while others are slowly fading away.
