Friedrichschain

Friedrichschain is an old district, south of Karl-Marx-Allee, that maintain its austere charm and is a retreat for those who wants to be away from the hip-hop of the city life. As a traveler, you can discover a nice neighborhood, and spree of old architecture houses that have their own legacy to tell. Gradually, lots of students have moved in here since 1991 or simply transferred because rents in the old houses were quite low.

Unveiling Friedrichshain!
As far as tourist spots are concerned, you won't be disappointed as the district endorses many destination that are worth exploring. Right by the Oberbaumbrcke, there is a East Side Gallery, the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall (more than 1 km long). The artworks were created immediately after German unification - this is a piece of wall that was never painted in communist times. Here on Spreeufer is Speicher, an American-inspired amusement complex with discos and bars on 4 floors. As you move further to the east, directly under Warschauer Stra￟e S-Bahn station, dance fans can swing a leg in Matrix.

Just a few steps away from Karel Duba is Non Tox, where the weekend parties are full of subversive musical contrasts. You can also try-Busche, that presents another kind of music, a haunt for gay men and lesbians.
