About the neighborhood

Neukölln, in short

Neukölln is a large, residential district in southeast Berlin, known for its diverse population and a rich culinary landscape. The area around Rathaus Neukölln and stretching along Karl-Marx-Straße is a central hub, offering a wide array of shopping options. This part of the city provides a look into daily life, with a mix of local and international influences.

Travelers come to Neukölln for its distinctive food culture, particularly the extensive offerings of Middle Eastern and Turkish groceries. The neighborhood is a destination for those seeking specific ingredients for global cuisines, reflecting the communities who call it home. Streets like Sonnenallee are lined with stores catering to these tastes.

The Neuköllner Wochenmärkte - Rixdorf on Karl-Marx-Platz 1 offers an open-air experience for regional goods. For everyday needs and late-night provisions, numerous Spätis, such as Späti 24/7 Takis Shop on Sonnenallee 130, provide round-the-clock convenience, especially valuable on evenings and Sundays.

Situated south of the more central Kreuzberg, Neukölln functions as a self-contained district with its own rhythm. It offers a quieter pace in some residential pockets, while main arteries like Karl-Marx-Straße and Sonnenallee remain busy. Here you will find a range of supermarkets like Kaufland Berlin-Neukölln within Neukölln Arcaden, alongside specialty stores such as Anant Indischer Supermarkt on Anzengruberstraße 20.

Worth knowing

Explore Sonnenallee

This street is home to a concentration of Middle Eastern supermarkets like Azzam Supermarket and BARAKA Supermarkt, offering halal meats and a wide array of specific ingredients. It is a good place to find items not always available elsewhere.

Worth skipping

Focusing solely on large chain stores

While Kaufland and EDEKA are present on Karl-Marx-Straße, Neukölln's unique character comes from its independent and international grocery stores. Prioritize exploring these for a more distinct shopping experience.
