Linienstraße in Berlin-Mitte is another one of those streets that seems rather unremarkable at first glance. But upon closer inspection, Linienstraße has a lot to offer.
Stretching for about 2 kilometers, Linienstraße runs virtually parallel to the rather busy Torstraße. And ever since it became a bike-friendly street in 2008, it has offered many cyclists and pedestrians a quiet and safe alternative to Torstraße.
At its western end, Linienstraße meets Oranienburger Straße very close to Friedrichstraße. Along its route, it crosses Tucholskistraße, Kleine Hamburger Straße, Ackerstraße, and the adjacent Koppenplatz; Kleine Auguststraße, Joachimstraße, Rosenthaler Straße and Kleine Rosenthaler Straße; Gormannstraße and Rückestraße; Alte Schönhauser Straße; Max-Beer-Straße, Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße, the small but charming Zolastraße, and finally, at its eastern end, Weydingerstraße, before merging into Karl-Liebknechstraße.
For a walk along Linienstraße, I’d recommend starting at the eastern end. The intersection with Karl-Liebknechstraße tends to be rather busy, whereas the western end, at the corner of Oranienburger Straße, offers plenty of opportunities to grab a bite to eat or a drink, explore Friedrichstraße or Oranienburger Straße—or simply linger.
