Volksbühne hosts and produces an intriguing program of theatre performances, contemporary dance and concerts. 

The Hamburger Bahnhof – 'Museum für Gegenwart' which was originally a train station is a terrific museum featuring a selection of contemporary art.

Peres Projects mostly showcases young, emerging artists and is at the forefront of fusing art with fashion, celebrity and the love of a good party, which seems to work very well in Berlin. Having recently moved into an ex-Soviet building on Karl Marx Allee, the giant new space contrasts brilliantly with the commanding facade.

Delicious beer and marinated camembert.

Interesting and surreal window shopping around Neukolln.
