THE BERLIN CITY EDIT
Where to Stay in Berlin City West: Your Guide to Savignyplatz & Charlottenburg
Berlin’s Best-Kept Secret
Welcome to Savignyplatz
There are places in Berlin that locals prefer to keep to themselves. Savignyplatz is one of them.
Since 1862, the square has been a meeting point for artists, writers, and cosmopolitans. In the 1970s, David Bowie and Iggy Pop sat here beneath the S-Bahn arches. That energy is still here today: understated, full of character, and authentic.
No souvenir shops. No crowds. Instead, cafés, bookshops, galleries, and restaurants with regulars — and the S-Bahn right on your doorstep.
