Chancellor Angela Merkel's office/home is across the street!
You can go up and have a great view or enjoy the restaurant. Local tip: If you want to make GREAT PHOTOS from Berlin WITH Berliner Fernsehturm on the picture you need to go up to the hotel Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz Hotel and ask for the platform where you can make photos. I guess it’s with a fee of about 10 EUR but great pictures.
Great spot to see the Wall with kids in tow.
Get a look at the wall with loads of Berlin graffiti art!
Have you ever wanted to take a walk in the middle of a runway. Well.... check out this abandoned airfield in the center of the town. The locals have turned this into a park for bike rides, skateboarding and BBQs.
Looking for something just like NYC's Central Park, well take a stroll through this lovely wooded park in the center of town.
Museum lover? Take your pick then. You'll find Museum Island is a lovely place to stroll around, and you are surrounded by 6 options: Old Museum, New Museum, Old National Gallery, Bode Museum, Pergamon Museum (likely under construction still) and a recreation of Berlin Palace.
For those looking to truly geek out over WW2 history, check this location out. The Flak towers were huge fortified structures that survived the war, some only to be partially or completely removed afterwards. The primary role of these towers was as a gun platform which protected Berlin from Allied bomber raids.
A must have - Currywurst. One of the bride's favorite snacks (ahem meals) in Berlin.
A suggestion from the groom for those dance lovers. Most nights you can find folks dancing tango, salsa or swing in this park.
After lunch, take in a Cafe and Kuchen (coffee and cake) as it is a must do in Germany in the afternoons!
For those brave souls, this is the famous club that you hear about. Its not easy to get into. Plan to wear all black and line up around 5 a.m. to get into this party ;)
For cocktails and a great rooftop view.
Super yummy Dim Sum restaurant.
