Wedding has been a constantly up-and-coming neighbourhood for years - as a graffito in a bar puts it: "Wedding is not hip, it's just good". Many Berliners and newcomers are discovering the charm of Wedding. With the Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin (BHT) in the centre and other major universities nearby, Wedding is popular with students. It is also one of Berlin's greenest neighbourhoods, with several large parks and swimming lakes.

Markets and shopping facilities
A large flea market is held on Leopoldplatz on Saturday mornings. The main shopping street is Müllerstraße, where many large shops and supermarkets can be found. There are also a number of second-hand thrift shops in the quieter streets around Leopoldplatz.
Nightlife
Wedding has a number of bars that are connected to breweries, where you can often get unique beers on the table. The "Vagabund Brauerei", for example, is a small craft beer bar on Antwerpener Straße. The bar is so small and friendly that you can't help but get to know the other guests. Nearby on Triftstraße is "Eschenbräu", a large venue with an outdoor beer garden that is very popular with students. The beer selection includes its own creations such as "Weddinator" and "Panke Gold".
A nightlife centre with a number of courtyards is located on Gerichtstraße, where popular bars or clubs with regular live music can be found. These include "Anita Berber", a stylish cocktail bar that doubles as a small nightclub, and "Panke", a more bohemian choice where they regularly host open mic nights, live concerts and DJs. There are also several trendy bars in the areas: the "Kleine Bar", in Hochstraße, and "The Forsberg", in Gerichtstraße, opened by the artist Charles Forsberg, who uses the bar as an exhibition space for his works, but also mixes delicious cocktails or has them mixed.
The "Mastul Kunst und Kultur Verein" also regularly organises live concerts, poetry and stand-up comedy in Liebenwalder Straße. For a more raucous evening, head to "Kugelbahn Wedding" on Grüntaler Straße, a smoky bar with an old skittle alley on the ground floor, live concerts and DJs.

Cafés and restaurants
One of the most popular places to eat in Wedding is Sprengelkiez, with many restaurants and cafés to choose from, with outdoor seating, and plenty of people watching. Near the Nordufer, there are also a number of German restaurants and bars in picturesque Wilhelminian-style buildings.
Popular restaurants elsewhere in the neighbourhood include "El Pepe", a Spanish tapas restaurant on Prinzenallee with a wide selection of food, wines and beers; as well as "Stranero" on Liebenwalder Straße, a popular pizzeria.
In terms of possibly lower budget options, the district has an extensive range of Turkish and Arabic cuisine, such as the "Imren Grill" and "Falafel Dream 2010", both on Müllerstraße. Or the "Akko Restaurant" in Pankstraße. Also worth a visit is the "Rebel Room", which serves delicious burgers.
There are many cosy cafés in Malplaquetstraße - including the "Cafe Largo", or in Nazarethkirchstraße the "GàTô", a patisserie that produces wickedly good cakes and pastries. With its airy design, the "Mirage Bistrot" in Reinickendorfer Straße serves French and Mediterranean-Arabic cuisine and offers brunch on Sundays. "Coffee Star" in Müllerstraße is also a good address for coffee with freshly roasted beans.
Art and culture
Wedding has a number of new cultural venues to offer: at the top of the list is "Silent Green", an old crematorium that has been renovated and converted into a space for events, concerts, art exhibitions and a café.
Many of Wedding's best spots are hidden away. On the Panke you will find "Café Dujardin", where jazz evenings take place regularly. The Piano Salon Christophori, a hidden gem that organises classical music evenings in a surprisingly large space, is also located on the riverside road. The riverside studios are located along the river in a historic brick building. Here you can watch dance students warming up before rehearsals, but the studios also regularly organise contemporary dance performances.
For film fans, the City Kino Wedding plays modern films and regularly hosts film festivals with a small café/bar where you can relax before a screening or buy a wine or beer. In summer, you can also visit the open-air cinema "Rehberge", which shows films in a 1500-seat amphitheatre surrounded by lush, green trees - a perfect place for warm summer evenings.

Parks and leisure
Picnicking and sunbathing in the "Schillerpark" is a great thing. There are also sports fields and a magnificent monument to the poet and playwright Friedrich Schiller. The "Humboldthain", near Gesundbrunnen station, is a popular place for joggers and also has a rose garden for some peace and quiet among the colourful flowers. The flak towers from the Second World War are a reminder of Berlin's past, but are now a popular tourist attraction. From the towers you have a marvellous view over the west and north of Berlin as far as the "Teufelsberg". The park also has a public swimming pool and an art gallery - "Tropez" - with exhibitions and performances.
The largest park in Wedding is the "Volkspark Rehberge" with an area of around 78 hectares. There are picturesque lakes, sports fields, a café and an open-air cinema. On the south-western edge of the park is the Plötzensee, one of the best lakes in the city centre and a popular place for sunbathing and swimming in summer. There is also a place where you can hire boats. And if you want to sunbathe on the beach, head to the "Strandbad Plötzensee" - also suitable for families, preferably at the back, in the shade of tall trees. Further north there is the "Flughafensee" or "Tegeler See" (from Leopoldplatz with the U6).
Transport and location
North of the centre of Berlin, Wedding is well connected to Mitte, including Humboldt University, via the U6 underground line or a short cycle ride. From Osloer Straße, the U8 runs via Alexanderplatz to Kreuzberg and Neukölln. The S-Bahn runs through Wedding, with good connections to East and West Berlin, including Tegel and Schönefeld airports.
