The Glockbach and the Gärtnerplatzviertel are attractive areas within this borough. During the day both areas are excellent for shopping with many small and unusual stores. Once the shops have closed people meet up in the numerous bars, pubs and restaurants or they just sit on the steps of the Gärtnerplatztheater looking down on the beautiful Gärtnerplatz. This part of the city is very popular amongst young people and singles.
