This is one of those grand European architectural locations. Once you get anywhere near this area,…read morewhat you will find are great cathedrals, beautiful buildings, and a very large square. The center point of this area is the large square. My suggestion is that you go and stand in the center of it, look around, and study its true uniqueness. What you will experience is one of the best places to view the grandeur of historic Berlin. Around this very large square, what you will find, (occasionally), is that they will have marketplaces. These marketplaces are usually seasonally orientated. Meaning, if it's Christmas season, you will find a great selection of Christmas orientated items. The main reason you come here is not so much simply to go shopping or dining, of which there are a lot of places to check out around the surrounding area, but to go inside some of the structures, and truly bask in the architectural glory of the statues, the way the buildings were constructed, and all of that kind of stuff. This isn't really a highly-touristy Berlin location. Which, is a good thing. Meaning, you can come here and really bask in a historic Berlin, which is deeply rooted in history. It will provide you with the true flavor and culture of Berlin. Overall, I would suggest that you do go here. You just need to know what to expect. There's not necessarily a lot to do, unless you truly appreciate the finer elements of architecture. But, it's a great place to visit.

Heckmann Höfe is the small shopping and dining area right in the heart of Berlin. It is one of…read morethose locations that if you do not know about it, you may very well walk right past it, as you must go through a passageway to get inside. Once inside the area, what you will find are a few shops and a couple of dining establishments. The shops that operate here are of the boutique nature. Meaning, they only sell unique, vintage, or one of a kind items. Which makes this place an interesting place to shop. This internal area is surround by buildings, so you really feel enclosed once you are inside. It's kind of claustrophobic. The thing that I find a bit stage about this very small area is that cars will actually dive inside, as there are a few parking spaces. When one is trying to get in, or get out, as there is very little any room for them to do, don't try to walk in or out of the facility when a car is in motion as it could turn out to be a problem. Overall, an interesting and known only to locals place to check out in Berlin.

I had a aperol spritz and a honey and goat cheese flatbread that were both delicious. Staff was very helpful and offered an espresso on the house when they'd made a mistake with my food.
