10 Things to do in Kreuzberg That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

Since 1987 a permanent exhibition at the site where the headquarters of the Secret State Police, the SS and the Reich Security Main Office were located during the “Third Reich” has been providing information to the public about the most important institutions of National Socialist persecution and terror. The documentary exhibition conveys the European dimensions of the Nazi reign of terror.

Great opportunity to see the remaining bit of the Berlin Wall, the free museum is interesting and you can get free tours and information. Also Checkpoint Charlie is only 2 blocks away. This is a great museum and you can open as much as or little time you want to see this historic site.

This West Berlin neighborhood has long been a nexus for Berlin's socially alternative population.

One of if not the most Turkish neighborhood in the city, with tons of gentrifying hipsters too and a few old punks. Hands down you will find the best and cheapest Turkish food here, you can also find expensive Turkish food as well. Either way, its all sensational stuff. There is something on every corner, blocks of small businesses in between large blocks of residences. Graffiti everywhere. Kotbusser tor is good place to look for food, that surrounding round street has some of the best ones. There is quire a lot of nightclubs, bit more underground and inviting than the pretentious famous ones people wait two hours in line for just to be turned away.

The Berlinische Galerie is one of the newest museums in the German capital and collects art from Berlin dating from 1870 to the present day - with both a local and international focus. Founded in 1975, the State Museum reopened in its own building close to the Jewish Museum in 2004, moving into a spacious industrial hall that has been rebuilt to provide 4,600 square metres of exhibition space. Fine art - painting, graphics, sculpture, multimedia - photography, architecture and artists' archives provide a rich source, whose interdisciplinary relationships create exciting dialogues. Its outstanding collections include Dada Berlin, the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) and the Eastern European avant-garde. The art of he divided and reunified city of Berlin provides another focus.

We went to see the Bauhaus exhibition here, which was really interesting + informative even if you didn't know anything about it. There were also interactive games that were fun, would be great for children. The permanent exhibition was also really worth a visit- a number of the paintings are recreated in 3D for the visually impaired which was a really lovely addition.

Adjacent to the German Museum of Technology, the Science Center Spectrum is lots of fun for the whole family. It's certainly hands-on, with lots of interactive exhibits. I'd say that the hands-on part is more for younger people - kids, teens, etc., but fun for adults, too. Half of the museum is the hands-on stuff, while the other half is for stationary objects with signs explaining what you're looking at. Quite varied areas of science, technology, and so on. Very interesting. There's also a robot that moves around throughout the science center, which kids love. Could easily spend half a day or more here. Lots of items to see and with which to interact.
