Fodor's Review:
Renovated in the 1980s and a tad concrete-heavy, this tiny quarter grew up around Berlin's oldest parish church, the medieval, twin-spire St. Nikolaikirche (St. Nicholas's Church), dating from 1230. The adjacent Fischerinsel (Fisherman's Island) area was the heart of Berlin 765 years ago and retains a bit of its medieval character. At Breite Strasse you'll find two of Berlin's oldest buildings: No. 35 is the Ribbeckhaus, the city's only surviving Renaissance structure, dating from 1624, and No. 36 is the early baroque Marstall, built by Michael Matthais between 1666 and 1669. The area feels rather artificial but draws tourists to its gift stores, cafés, and restaurants.
- Cost: EUR 1.50 (Nikolaikirche free)
- Open: Tues. and Thurs.-Sun. 10-6, Wed. noon-8
- Metro: Alexanderpl. (S-bahn and U-bahn)
