Kreuzberg offers some of the cities best food, nightlife and entertainment. As I was scouting locations for my new travel guide in Kreuzberg, I found a lot of gems in this Kiez. So here are my Top 5 activities in Kreuzberg. Little note on the side; if you rent a bike: it's by far the best way to get around.

By paddling with a rubber dinghy on the Landwehrkanal you can enjoy Berlin from a unique perspective. There are many places where you can embark with your boat (e.g. Ankerklause). And if you don't want to paddle you can just relax riverside. At Paul-Lincke-Ufer you can also play bocce.
