Hidden Gems in Mitte – Explore Berlin Like a Local

Berlin has plenty of hidden gems and local favorites, and many are right around the corner from our hotel. For a peaceful break, head to Monbijou Park across the Spree – a green oasis where locals picnic and even enjoy open-air dancing on summer evenings with a fantastic view of Museum Island. Coffee lovers can slip into House of Small Wonder, a tucked-away café on a side street known for its indoor garden vibe and spiral staircase – a true Instagram-worthy secret spot. Just a few blocks away, the courtyards of Hackescher Markt host an open-air market on weekends, where you can browse handmade crafts, sample local street food, or simply soak up the lively atmosphere among Berliners. Art and history buffs will enjoy discovering the graffiti-adorned alley of Haus Schwarzenberg, home to street art, tiny galleries, and an independent cinema – a glimpse into Berlin’s alternative art scene hidden in plain sight. You can also visit the nearby Tränenpalast (“Palace of Tears”) at Friedrichstraße station, a free museum in the former border crossing hall that offers a moving slice of Cold War history. Our team is always happy to share personal recommendations like these, so you can experience the Spirit of Berlin Mitte beyond the typical guidebook highlights.
