- Kimchi Princess - Futuristic night-time photo spot (see our interview with KontrastKollectiv for evidence of this)
- Spreepark
- Districts like Kreuzberg, Neukölln or Friedrichshain are popular places for street photography.
- For landscape photography visit more rural places like Spandau or Köpenick.
- The area around the Bundestag is very futuristic and architecturally exciting whilst Berlin-Köpenick is closer to the "older Berlin".
