Head along the lovely Havel promenade from the hotel – where you’re sure to forget, if you haven’t already, that you’re in a capital city. Lined with the lime trees that give the place its name, this promenade is a beautiful spot. Head further north and under the bridge via the Hermann-Oxfort Promenade to Behnitz, known to locals as Kolk. This is the oldest settlement in Spandau Old Town, dating back to the 13th century. Its narrow streets and passageways are home to lovingly restored half-timbered houses that give a clear impression of what it must have looked like here in the olden days. 

 

Shopping, culture and leisure in Spandau Old Town

Pass the St. Nikolaikirche in the other direction and head to the market in the heart of Spandau Old Town. From here, you can carry on exploring in all directions. Kaffee 26 on Jüdenstraße is a great spot for people-watching or relaxing on the comfy sofas. If you’re looking for something to read along the way, stop off at the Dorotheenstädtische Buchhandlung and find a good book. If you’re feeling peckish, Fisch Frank serves fresh river crabs with crisp fried potatoes. Bärenland Spandau is a great spot for stocking up on gummi bears. Return to the lovely waterside Uferpromenade from here via Charlottenstraße. This is a wonderful place to relax on a bench and let the kids let off steam at the vast playpark.

Of course, no visit to Berlin Spandau would be complete without a trip to the Citadel. After all, it’s one of the best-preserved Renaissance fortifications in Europe and home to Berlin’s oldest building: the Julius Tower. But this isn’t just a must for history buffs – it’s also a popular venue and an institution on the city’s cultural scene, frequently welcoming huge stars such as Sting and Lionel Richie to huge outdoor concerts. You’ll also find the Spandau History Museum here on the site: an ideal starting point for finding out more about this part of Berlin.
