Parks & Nature

Tempelhof was a functioning airport until the mid-2000s. Now it's a unique park. It's a great place to bike around, grab a beer and chill out. Areas for BBQ-ing, dog runs and also has a beer garden

Berlin is sadly not beach-adjacent, so in summer everyone goes to the lakes! When it’s too hot to be a tourist, follow the locals and head to Schlachtensee. Get the train to either Nikolassee or Schlactensee Sbahn station and find a lakeside spot somewhere! There’s a lawn out the front of the Schlactensee train station, but it’s normally crowded so I recommend walking around to the other side of the lake and finding a little “beach” to set up camp on. There’s also a place to rent boats from if that takes your fancy.

Berlin's most famous club — and famously difficult to get into. If you want to get in here's a few tips: Don't bother dressing up nicely like you would in London etc, black jeans are a must. Don't talk loudly in the line, if they get a hint of you being overly drunk or touristy you won't get in. Don't use your phone. Don't say you're with a big group, if the bouncer asks who you're with, just say you're alone, or with 1 other person. Try not to speak English to the bouncer — just nod along to the German if you don't understand!

Ultimate brunch place, tiny but worth the wait, especially if you want to make friends jealous with some hot Instagram pictures. When you arrive it's likely you'll have to wait, but give your name to the staff and then order a coffee and wait 'til you're called, doesn't usually take too long, especially on weekdays.

I wouldn't go out of my way to see Checkpoint Charlie, but it's close to many other sites so if you're in the area have a wander past. The guard box is actually a replica, and isn't even sitting where the original guard house was (look for the bricks marking the wall a few meters down the road), but it could be a fun photo op.
