• Alcatraz Backpacker Hostel is located very centrally in the district of Prenzlauer Berg in Berlin. The next metro-station is only one minute away.
• As we have a very convenient and fast public transportation, all important sights of Berlin can be reached in only 15 minutes. Alexanderplatz is only 3 stops away and Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island or the Reichstag not much further.
• Within walking distance you may find the great flea-market of Mauerpark (on sundays), the relaxing Pratergarten (a beer-garden in the shade of chestnut-trees) and the wall-documentary center (telling about the division of Berlin).
• Why not have a cappuccino or two in one of the street- cafés, offering a tempting variety of specialties? Try out “Anna Blume”, a café with a splendid amount of mouth-watering cakes on Kollwitzstraße.
• A confusingly high amount of bars, restaurants and the like is on our doorstep. Sushi-Bars, great pizza places (you have got to try “a magica” in Greiffenhagener Straße, ask us for directions) or savoury german soulfood at “Zum Schusterjungen” just around the corner: loads of opportunities are waiting for you to enjoy a night out!
• Especially the area around Kollwitz- or Helmholtz-Platz (about 10 minutes walking) offers numerous shops and galleries you will likely not find elsewhere. Young Berlin designers, artists and other creative minds offer their creations, differing in a great way from the standard fare you will find everywhere.
