Intercultural encounters in Kreuzberg

Walking through the streets of Kreuzberg, I feel like inside Berlin’s heart of cultural diversity and artistic freedom. It is probably one of the quarters in the city where most people from a variety of backgrounds live, share and celebrate their traditions. Typically, streets are colourful and change every day with many new stickers, posters, sculptures and new openings of all kinds of spaces like cafés, bars, art and muisc venues. There is certainly a relaxed atmosphere transmitting a sense of tolerance towards difference and extending a warm welcome to eye-catching creativity.
