THINGS TO DO

The things worth doing in Berlin, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.

Teufelsberg

A Cold War listening post on a hill of war rubble in the Grunewald, now covered in street art. The domes still whistle.

Tempelhofer Feld

A dead airport turned public park. Cycle the runways, watch kite-buggies and picnic where the Berlin Airlift landed. Free.

Markthalle Neun

1891 market hall in Kreuzberg. Big market Friday and Saturday, small market midweek, Street Food Thursday from 17:00.

Boros Collection

Contemporary art inside a WWII bunker in Mitte. Small guided groups only, and you must book a ticket in advance.

TV Tower at Alexanderplatz

368m of GDR swagger, open 09:00-23:00, from 20 euros. The revolving restaurant is a slow full turn over the city.
