However, not everyone knows that there is a very interesting place near the cathedral, on Brüsseler Platz . This is a small square that is a popular meeting spot for hipsters during warmer months. They come there to meet like-minded fellows and enjoy favorite drinks. By the way, the drinks are not necessarily alcoholic ones as the local youth likes Club-Mate soda. So, if you are young, want to get new acquaintances and like soda, head to Brüsseler Platz.
The next secret place will be also liked by fans of noisy parties. This is the secret club Steken .
