Berlin is an edgy city, from its fashion to its architecture to its charged political history. The Berlin Wall is a sobering reminder of the hyper-charged postwar atmosphere, and yet the graffiti art that now covers its remnants has become symbolic of social progress. Check out the Weltzeituhr (world time) Clock, topped by a model of the solar system, then turn back time by dining at the historic Zur Letzten Instanz, a 16th century restaurant that was frequented by Napoleon and Beethoven.

Our/Vodka is a micro-distilled vodka made by local entrepreneurs in cities throughout the world. One part global and one part local. It is with this recipe that Our/Vodka will give selected cities around the world their very own vodka. Berliners are the first ones out and Our/Berlin is produced in the heart of the city, right in the Kreuzberg. It is smooth and fresh with a fruity note.

Real Italian aperitives right in Treptower Park. Honest price (6€ for a well made Negroni). Highly recommended.

This was my third time in Berlin, but the first time I've visited this great park and a really beautiful memorial. Being a history buff it was on my list during my previous visits, but always something else attracted me more, so I didn't have time. Speaking of time, let me assure you that you need only half an hour to reach it - 15 min S Bahn ride to Treptower station and around the same for walking from the station to the memorial. That walk is really relaxing in this huge greenery with many paths. The Soviet memorial is a highlight of this visit. Likewise the park it's also huge. You enter through two massive granite slabs depicting a battle, after which a huge lawn leads you to the larger than life Soviet soldier holding a child and crushing the swastika with his sword and boots. Be sure to climb the stairs to the soldier, beneath whom is a small chapel. On lawn's edges are several big white granit slabs with relief illustrations and Stallin's quotes inscribed. The memorial is dedicated to over 80.000 Soviet losses in the battle for Berlin, while around 7.000 are burried there. TIP: this is a pretty off the beaten track area of Berlin, so in order not to come just for this, you can combine your Treptower visit with: - Molecul Man water installation on Spree river (10 min walk in opposite direction from the S Bahn station) - very interesting and unusual, - Oberbaum bridge, Berlin's most beautiful bridge (further 15 min walk from the Molecul Man, - East side gallery (terrific, must see) starting on your left just after you cross the bridge. For more on these attractions, please read those reviews.

A harbored barge functions as a floating swimming pool right in the tradition of old riverside openair baths. Here you have an unique panoramic view of the river Spree, the Oberbaumbrücke and Berlin’s iconic TV tower. Besides bathing, the beach area around the Badeschiff has become an urban recreational area. During summertime we offer Yoga and StandUpPaddling courses and massage treatments. On top of that beach parties and music events take place on a regular basis. The Badeschiff has become a focal point of urban culture and entertainment for many Berliners at any time of the day.
