To coincide with Fashion Week, we have a few locations for you that you must visit to make your time in Berlin even more exciting.
Flea market at Mauerpark
Everyone knows a flea market – here a few old cassettes from childhood and there a few dusty books. But if you want to have a special flea market experience, you have to check out the popular flea market at Mauerpark. Every weekend people flock to the location to get cool rarities, fashion, bags, design, vnyl, jewellery and much more. Apart from an incredible variety of things you can buy there, it also offers fun karaoke events every Sunday. There you can show what you can do in front of over 1000 spectators.
The Television Tower at Alexanderplatz
Yes, it’s maybe one of the 0815 things you can do when you’re in Berlin. However, we can only recommend it to you – the television tower at Alexanderplatz. Berlin from above is nowhere better to experience, simply to Alexanderplatz, drive up and 360 degrees experience the big city. Also we can be inspired every time again to experience this view. Depending on the time of day, you may have to wait a while, as the rush can be quite high, but we assure you that it is worth waiting.
Visit the most beautiful square in Berlin – the Gendarmenmarkt
Berlin’s most beautiful square in the historic centre of the metropolis is the Gendarmenmarkt. Anyone who is a fan of architecture and a breathtaking atmosphere should definitely pay a visit to the Gendarmenmarkt. The German cathedral alone is worth a visit. When you enter the cathedral you can see an exhibition of the German Bundestag. On the development of parliamentary democracy in Germany. The French Cathedral houses the Huguenot Museum. The French Friedrichstadtkirche is still in the lower part of the building. A must see for every culture fan.
Time for Mustafa’s vegetable kebap at Mehringdamm
