For an overview of Kreuzberg take U-bahn line U1 from Schlesisches Tor to Gleisdreick. Trains run along an elevated section. West Kreuzberg is traditionally more upmarket, whereas the east is still more down-at-heel.

The main sights include the Jewish Museum and the Transport and Technical Museum. Typical Berlin tenements survive in Kreuzberg, and there are particularly interesting blocks at Chamissoplatz and Riehmer's Hofgarten, between Yorckstrasse and Hagelbergerstrasse.

Kreuzberg is also a good area for budget accommodation and has decent bars and restaurants.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6486 Ägyptisches Museum http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4515 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4515 Ägyptisches Museum http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3355 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3355 The Beate-Uhse Erotik Museum http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3354 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3354 Sachsenhausen http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1676 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1676 Hamburger Bahnhof http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1657 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1657 Jewish Museum http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1656 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1656 Stasi Museum http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1651
The government runs it which is why it is free. There are sometimes old East Germans there filling in government forms to access their old Stasi files. Very interesting museum and the people are very friendly. The museum book costs only 2.50 Euro in English also.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1651
