Akazien- and Goltzstraße offer a lively stretch of places to eat and drink, with an easy, local feel. Restaurants line the streets, serving a wide mix of cuisines — from Afghan to Nepalese and Thai — and prices are generally lower than in Berlin’s main tourist areas.
Around Eisenacher Straße, the extension of Goltzstraße, the scene becomes even more varied. Bars and cafés gather at street corners and down quiet side roads, many tucked into basement spaces of elegant old buildings. The area stays active into the evening, with a steady flow of neighborhood visitors and friends meeting over small plates and drinks.
This part of Berlin was spared the worst bomb damage during World War II. As a result, the streets still show a clear picture of 19th-century architecture. Tall façades, detailed stucco, and graceful doorways frame the sidewalks, offering a look at how much of the city once appeared.
