Vintage shopping and cafe culture

Word to the wise: While this is certainly the most charming stretch, the neighbouring streets have a lot to offer too, with a concentration of shops along Kastanienallee too.

On the border between Mitte and Prenzlauerberg, this area has a younger vibe than the rest of so-called nappy valley. The cobbled street has a number of vintage shops and boutiques ranging from the homage to 90s grunge that is Paul's Boutique to the chicer and more carefully curated Hoboken. For shoes head to Calypso, a paradise of 50s kitten heels, 80s slouchy boots and everything in between.

But it's just as worth coming here for the cafe culture. Grab a waffle or ice cream at Kauf Dich Glücklich or a sourdough sandwich from Glory Whole.
