On a leafy street in Kreuzberg is Kuratiert, a contemporary illustration gallery and shop selling prints, ceramics, textiles and more by some of the best creators from Berlin and the world. It also hosts regular dedicated exhibitions, and is a great place to browse for gifts, or just inspiration.

It's an old entertainment park. It's closed now, but you can sneek in and see how nature has eaten the place up. Really nice to take pictures.

Excellent place for cured meats, cheese, whine and more from regional and European producers.

My favourite book store with a minimal interior and maximum range of books on architecture, design, art, philosophy and politics. 

Lovely relaxing atmosphere in a beautiful courtyard. Great variety of Breads, and Delicious pastries.
