A cafe that is cuddly and hip at the same time. Stellar coffee, ground on the premises, plus a huge variety of fantastic pastries and cakes and in unforced, friendly atmosphere. Ground coffee can be bought to take away too.
Bergmanstrasse, Kreuzberg. U-Bahn: Gneisenaustr
Park. Sprawling green space - very kid friendly. Several play areas, one that defies belief (in the centre) based on '101 Arabian Nights'. Open-air cinema, jogging paradise, enclosed 'dogs-only' field, petting zoo, mini golf...it goes on and on. Even the drug dealers are polite. Easily combined with your visit to the Vatican's embassy at Sudstern.
South/Central berlin in Kreuzberg. U-Bahn: Sudstern or Hermann Platz
Gi-normous, fenced in park with plenty of room to roam, masses of stuff for kids and adults to do (wee train trips, water areas, lakes, all sorts of animals (free on the range), open air music and theatre) and masses of space to do nothing in, if that's what takes your fancy. Beautifully maintained and not at all corporate feeling. Couple of euros to get in. Bargain.
Neukoln, in the south east of the city. It's big, so no 'one' place to get in. Get a map!
