On Sunday afternoon, numerous Berliners and tourists trundle into the amphitheater at Mauerpark to sit comfortably in the sun and watch the brave ones who dare to sing their hearts out in the center via a karaoke machine. Small stalls and late-night stores provide alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as delicious food. It all started with a bicycle courier who converted his bicycle into a mobile karaoke machine. Meanwhile, the surrounding hotels even recommend this unique attraction. The Mauerpark has its name by the Berlin Wall running through at that time and is located at the U station Eberswalder Straße (U2).
The Prussian Park in the Berlin district of Wilmersdorf is actually just a normal park, were it not for the many colorful umbrellas on sunbed mats almost every day and especially on weekends. At this time, the Prussian Park develops into a Thai Park and a new, exotic world opens its doors. If you look more closely you will see that this is not a crowded park, but many Thai women who offer your Thai specialties for mostly little money to eat. The food is often prepared right in front of your eyes and you will encounter many new dishes. You should take plenty of time for this excursion, because there is a variety of different dishes and drinks. The Preußenpark (Thai Park) is located directly at the U Fehrbelliner Platz (U7).
Markthalle Neun delights with international street food. For little money you get creative and delicious food from all over the world, prepared by different stations.
The market hall nine represents the different offers in Berlin and shows that there is more than just kebab and curry sausage. The market hall is located in the district of Berlin-Kreuzberg and can be reached by subway line U1. Stop U Görlitzer Bahnhof.
The Berlin Wall Trail leads all around the old West Berlin. It marks the course of the former border fortifications of the GDR to West Berlin and leads through pretty forests, across picturesque fields and meadows, along tranquil canals and lakes and, of course, right through the center of the "new" Berlin. The route, which is 160 km long in total, can be ideally explored in several small stages on foot or by bike. Even if the individual sections are not very long, you should still plan enough time for your tour because of the many memorials and places of remembrance.
From Potsdamer Platz past the East Side Gallery to Warschauer Straße and from Griebnitzsee over the Glienicker Bridge - also called "Agent's Bridge" after the exchange of the KGB agent Rudolf Abel for the American pilot Francis Powers - to Wannsee.
The Viktoriapark, located in the middle of the Kreuzberg district, was the only green soul in the district for a long time. It was created in 1888 and its name still commemorates the English wife of Emperor Frederick III, Victoria.
However, the park is not laid out in the British style, as one might expect. A wild waterfall in the middle of a rocky mountain scenery stands with its idyll seemingly in complete contrast to the hectic city life and invites to a romantic walk. On the top stands today the national monument by Schinkel as a symbol of the victory over Napoleon.
