Where to Stay / Getting Around Berlin
Berlin is known for its eclectic, artsy vibe, so stay in Friedrichshain or Kreuzberg, two trendy-yet-gritty areas known for being LGBTQ friendly. Mitte is great for high-end art and design and has hotels that cater to families and businesspeople. Get around by metro and taxi, though you really can walk from East to West without ruining your sneaks.
