Half day in Berlin – after non-classical tourist spots

2/5/2013 10:35:33 PM

For shopping I’d suggest the area around Kurfürstendamm (not far from Tiergarten).
KaDeWe has a large toy section, there’s also a Lego store nearby. Actually, you find pretty much everything at KaDeWe (at relatively high prices, of course). There’s a whole floor for food which has a designated “sausage stand”.

Berlin’s full of classic architecture. Do you mean something like this? A quite nice area for this is Kreuzberg, e.g. the streets around Bergmannstr. where facades have been nicely renovated in the last 20 years. However, there are a lot places for this, if you don’t have much time it’s also fine wandering around Charlottenburg, meaning near Kurfürstendamm.

I’ve been to Berlin a few times, and if I only had a half day I would go check out one of these two abandoned spots (I’ve been to both already).

They’re not touristy, and I haven’t been anywhere like that anywhere else in the world. If you’re interested in street art / graffiti and checking out some spooky locales I can highly recommend them for an afternoon.

The spy tower is the more interesting of the two, but it’s a bit farther from the city. On the plus side, there’s a nice lake near the spy tower where you can take a dip if the weather is nice when you go.

Standard tourist locations are museums, Fernsehturm, Zoo etc., so I think you’d like to avoid that.

There are many ways to spend single afternoon. You could for example visit Mauerpark or just wander through the alleys of Kreuzberg or somewhere near the city center. Just wandering without specified aim is a quite good way to spend free time.
