Is Prenzlauer Berg worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Prenzlauer Berg earns the hours.

Allow Half day.

It's Berlin at its most liveable and pretty — intact 19th-century facades, brunch cafés, Kollwitzplatz farmers' market, and easy strolling. The catch: it's the poster child of Berlin gentrification, so it's polished, pram-heavy and a bit boutique-bourgeois — short on the edge people come to Berlin for.
