“You’re crazy, my child, you must go to Berlin!” – the famous words of composer Franz von Suppè are well known, and more than 13 million visitors a year prove: Berlin is always worth a trip. All that’s missing is the right hotel in a central location. The Arte Luise Kunsthotel, located on Friedrichstrasse, offers guests an excellent base for exploring the capital on foot and making their visit to Berlin truly unforgettable.

Welcome to Friedrichstrasse in Berlin-Mitte

Friedrichstrasse is undoubtedly one of the most famous streets in Germany. Stretching over 3.3 km from Kreuzberg to Mitte, there is much to discover along the way. Starting at Oranienburger Tor, past the historic Friedrichstadt-Palast and the Berliner Ensemble at Bertolt-Brecht-Platz, you cross the River Spree and reach the Admiralspalast and the Friedrichstrasse S-Bahn station. South of here, Friedrichstrasse becomes a bustling shopping mile with something for every taste – from luxury fashion stores and high-end department stores like Quartier 205 and 206, to popular budget fashion brands.

The partially pedestrianized street is also lined with countless hotels, theaters, bars, restaurants, and cafés that invite visitors to stroll, shop, and relax. A major highlight on this north-south axis is the historic border crossing Checkpoint Charlie. From there, the street leads into the lesser-known southern section through Kreuzberg, ending at Mehringplatz.

Many popular attractions around Friedrichstrasse can also be reached easily on foot. A stroll along the boulevard Unter den Linden quickly takes you to the prestigious Hotel Adlon and the Brandenburg Gate, which borders the more than 200-hectare Tiergarten park. This green oasis in the middle of the city stretches all the way to Berlin Zoo and invites visitors to relax in nature. A great place for a short break is the traditional beer garden Café am Neuen See, offering unique views over the lake. On your way back, it’s worth stopping by the Großer Stern with the Victory Column or walking south through the Tiergarten toward Potsdamer Platz, followed by a visit to the Holocaust Memorial. Just a few hundred meters further and you’re back at the Brandenburg Gate – and close to the Arte Luise Hotel.

On the other side of Friedrichstrasse, toward Alexanderplatz, there’s also plenty to see and experience. Following the River Spree, you’ll reach Museum Island, home to the Bode Museum, the Pergamon Museum, and the Old National Gallery. Just behind them lies the Berlin Cathedral and Lustgarten park. Surrounding the island are more fascinating museums and institutions like the DDR Museum, the German Historical Museum, the Berlin State Opera, Humboldt University, the Gendarmenmarkt, and the faithfully reconstructed Berlin Palace.

A Diverse Culinary Scene in The Heart of Berlin

Good food is part of any great trip – and nowhere in Berlin will you find such a wide range of international cuisine as in the Mitte district. Right in the city center, guests are spoiled for choice: enjoy breakfast at a trendy café, lunch in a fine dining restaurant with à la carte menus, a French treat in the afternoon, or a cold beer by the river in the evening. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, a meat lover, or a wine enthusiast – there’s something for every taste along and around Friedrichstrasse.
