Hidden Gems Near Berlin Bus Stops

The bus takes you to the hits, but the B-sides are nearby.

Near Alexanderplatz: Nikolai Quarter

Walk 5 minutes towards the river to find Nikolaiviertel. It's a reconstructed medieval village. Tiny alleys, teddy bear museum, and old-world charm.

Near Hackescher Markt: The Courtyards

Don't just stay on the street. Enter the Hackescher Höfe. A labyrinth of interconnected art nouveau courtyards with cinemas and boutiques.

Near Checkpoint Charlie: The Trabi Museum

Everyone looks at the Wall, but around the corner is arguably the funniest museum, dedicated to the terrible/beloved East German car, the Trabant.
