Wedding is a multicultural district encompassing several residential areas and parks. Huge Volkspark Rehberge and smaller Schillerpark attract picnicking families and runners. In the southwest, tiny Plötzensee lake offers a sandy beach for swimming against the backdrop of 19th-century Plötzensee Prison, now a memorial. Students and families fill cafes and casual restaurants in the lively Brüsseler Kiez area.
