Local highlights near the Linnen Berlin
The Linnen Berlin is a tranquil oasis amid the buzz of Prenzlauer Berg. The friendly establishment finds itself right next to concert and sporting event venue Max-Schmeling-Halle. A little further from the Linnen – but only a little, it’s just 300 metres away – you’ll find the one-of-a-kind Kulturbrauerei. This vast former brewery is now home to a cinema, several theatres and a museum. The listed late-19th-century architecture is worth the trip in itself.
At weekends, you can sample local markets near the hotel on leafy and lovely Arkonaplatz, just 10 minutes’ walk from the Linnen Berlin.

Sunday also sees a lively flea market set out its stalls on the square. This is a great spot to browse for original and authentic souvenirs of the city. VEB orange is another hidden gem for gift shopping and memorabilia: the second-hand store specialises in retro furniture, homewares and seemingly pretty much everything else you could find in 1960s and 1970s East Germany.
