Krokodil

Around Berlin


The seasonal fare at this urban getaway is delish, but even more memorable is the idyllic setting on the Dahme River some 700m south of the Altstadt. Join locals in capping a day of lounging on Krokodil's beach with sundowners or al fresco dinner. Book ahead for the legendary Sunday brunch. The attached guesthouse has twin rooms.

From S-Bahn station Köpenick take tram 62 or 68 to Schlossplatz, then walk east on Müggelheimer Strasse for 300m and turn south on Kietz for another 400m.
