Top 5 cafés of Kreuzberg
Probably Berlin is the best city to be a freelancer. The number of start-ups is reflected in the number of cafés, which are sometimes used as a headquarter, where a lot of freelancers are to be found. Sometimes visiting a café feels like walking into an office. Here you can find my Top 5 cafés of Kreuzberg, inwhich you can still have a coffee while reading a book or meet friends.
