Follow the Flo in Berlin
Useful information
Berlin is separated in the so called "Bezirke" (Districts). There are 12 districts in Berlin and every district is a small city on its own - but usually you only hang out in about 4-5 districts (mostly Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, Schöneberg, Kreutzberg, Charlottenburg) at all. Knowing these facts makes Berlin a lot smaller than it may appear. Tip: Use www.stadtplandienst.de for orientation.
