Fantastic tower in old East Berlin. Take the lift to the top and sit in the revolving restaurant to see the city. Go early to avoid queues.
Prater Garten is a biergarten at Kastanienalle Prenzlauer Berg, the best bier, the best ambient for families and groups. It has great food and location, you must go.
