Nikolaiviertel

Wow! Even if simply to walk around the picturesque cobblestone streets, you must visit Nikolaiviertel. A quiet, charming little neighborhood with merchant homes, cafes, and museums. You wouldn’t know this area is here from the main road. It’s a gem. I visited on a Friday around noon in November and the streets were mostly empty. Just lovely!

Best summary of what that quarter is: the little German village in the heart of Berlin. It’s a small calm charming quarter. Great for a few relaxing hours to sit down and escape the hustle and bustle of the city center.

Such a nice surprise in the center of Berlin. Must see, very close to top attractions, also a perfect shortcut from our hotel to Alexander Platz. Nice old streets, cobbled streets, pleasant square with an old church. All in such a small area near the river.

August 2022 • the most charming area of Berlin that we found during our 4 day visit. Super cute shops and restaurants as well! A lot of the shops are cash only, so have some cash on hand if you plan to shop.

This area was rebuilt last century after being destroyed in WWII. Based on a modern take of how the medieval city would be like, it has good restaurants, many serving traditional German dishes and lots of little shops selling arts and crafts type things - very good for different souvenirs or gifts. The church museum has a number of original artifacts from the time, plus a great reconstruction of how the interior of the church would have looked.

This area is the Berlin's old town. It was renovated after the WW II. Nikolaivuertel is really calm and cute place although it is close to the city center. There are cafes and restaurants in the center and along the river side. This is the best place for having a rest and keeping away from the crowd.

It may be the only place in Berlin you can call the old city. An area that was destroyed during World War II and later rebuilt. It has its own small ecosystem. It contains beautiful cafes, restaurants and shops. It is definitely a must-visit location.

After exploring the city and living on the good chaos of the big city, this part of the city is quite laid back and calm, excellent to take a stroll and relax. Also the architecture is very nice.

There two bars to drink a beer if wanted and a museum.

Cute, charming area. Even though this area has been rebuilt, it has rich history which can be learned about from the different plaques on the buildings throughout the area. This area has some nice cafes, restaurants, shops etc.

Nikolaiviertel's location near the River Spree adds to its allure, making it a convenient starting point for exploring other nearby attractions and landmarks in the city.

Very nice place to visit. Cute and cozy, near to main attractions as well. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

This might be the only place in Berlin which can be defined as the "old town", that we're used to see in other German cities. It's very close to Alexanderplatz, but it's a very calm, silent and beautiful corner. There are some shops and cafes to relax.

Very nice neighborhood in Berlin full of restaurants.

As you leave the busy metropolis behind you, there are small houses instead of tall buildings, narrow streets instead of wide boulevards. Only the giant Television Tower above the rooftops reminds you that Nikolaiviertel is not a romantic village but in the middle of bustling Berlin.

The idyllic Nikolaiviertel is Berlin’s oldest residential quarter, but most of its mediaeval-looking streets and quaint houses were in fact built after the war.

Nikolaiviertel has more than 20 restaurants, cafés and pubs – many of them with local dishes and the typical Berlin atmosphere.

Cute neighbourhood with a few shops and restaurants, a bit of small town Germany in the middle of the dark Berlin. Good for pictures.

A cozy corner of "old" Berlin. How I love him! Here you want to breathe the air of Berlin and feel the breath of its history

there was a lot to see! there were multiple exhibitions at once, each very different but all interesting :) it was surprising that there werent many people besides us. staff was very nice and the area around the church is lovely to explore, definitely recommend a visit here

Very beautiful and interesting place in Berlin. Very recommended!!

This was a nice little walk from our hotel. We stopped here for food and was not disappointed! There were a few options for German food all of which looked amazing. We stopped at georgebrau and had amazing food and beer! Theres a few shopping stores and an old church turned museum that is the oldest building in Berlin!

Very cute square right next to the island. Nice to combine during the walk

the oldest area in Berlin and the most beautiful, the houses around the church of St. Nicholas keep a special bohemian air
