About these names

Berlin's 12 boroughs (Bezirke) are large administrative units, not neighbourhoods; addresses and this guide use the older, smaller neighbourhood names (Kreuzberg, Mitte, Neukölln) that Berliners actually use.

Berlin is far larger and flatter than most European capitals: the historic centre (Mitte) holds most first-visit sights, but Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Neukölln and Prenzlauer Berg — all a short S-Bahn or U-Bahn ride away — hold most of the food, nightlife and street life that define the city today.
