Overview
Treptow-Köpenick is Berlin's largest and least densely populated district. The beautiful forests, lakes, and affordable cost of living make this area popular with families and native East Germans. It is ideal for anyone looking for something more tranquil and picturesque, but still well-connected to downtown.
What can I do here?
When you aren't exploring the lakes and forests, catch an FC Union Berlin game, or visit the more than 140 shops at The Forum shopping center on Bahnhofstrasse. For a night out, see a show at Stadttheater Cöpenick, an old German theater that opened in 1889. Gasthaus Zenner offers old-school German cuisine, and Freiheit 15 is a cool riverside event space with a restaurant and beer garden.
Fascinating fact
Three-quarters of Treptow-Köpenick is either water, woods, or parks, and it is often called the "green lungs of Berlin".
