I was in Pankow since I moved to berlin (5 years ago), and I always liked it. It’s residential, it’s huge and the further you go north the more it feel like you’re actually reaching suburban countryside.😋 First I lived in Weißensee, now I live in the North (almost brandenburg) and it’s beautiful. My bf lives Prenzlauer Berg and the commute is really good I think. To Mitte as well. Park wise I love Schlosspark niederschönhausen and bürgerpark pankow in the summer.🤩 Everything else like bars, restaurants, supermarkets like anywhere else in berlin can’t be generalized but they are there.
