The 10 Best Things to do in Treptow-Köpenick (Borough), Germany
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.

This was my third time in Berlin, but the first time I've visited this great park and a really beautiful memorial. Being a history buff it was on my list during my previous visits, but always something else attracted me more, so I didn't have time. Speaking of time, let me assure you that you need only half an hour to reach it - 15 min S Bahn ride to Treptower station and around the same for walking from the station to the memorial. That walk is really relaxing in this huge greenery with many paths. The Soviet memorial is a highlight of this visit. Likewise the park it's also huge. You enter through two massive granite slabs depicting a battle, after which a huge lawn leads you to the larger than life Soviet soldier holding a child and crushing the swastika with his sword and boots. Be sure to climb the stairs to the soldier, beneath whom is a small chapel. On lawn's edges are several big white granit slabs with relief illustrations and Stallin's quotes inscribed. The memorial is dedicated to over 80.000 Soviet losses in the battle for Berlin, while around 7.000 are burried there. TIP: this is a pretty off the beaten track area of Berlin, so in order not to come just for this, you can combine your Treptower visit with: - Molecul Man water installation on Spree river (10 min walk in opposite direction from the S Bahn station) - very interesting and unusual, - Oberbaum bridge, Berlin's most beautiful bridge (further 15 min walk from the Molecul Man, - East side gallery (terrific, must see) starting on your left just after you cross the bridge.

Staatliche Museen zu Berlin closed from Saturday onwards From Saturday, 14.03.2020, onwards all buildings of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin will be closed until further notice. This measure is intended to minimise the spread of the coronavirus. We ask our visitors for their understanding. Schloss Kopenick (Kopenick Palace) has been used as an exhibition space by the Kunstgewerbemuseum since 1963. Before the reunification of Germany, artworks located in the east of Berlin were put on display here. The buildings on the island were later fully renovated and since 2004 have housed the permanent exhibition "RoomArt", focussing on the decorative arts of the Renaissance, Baroque and Rococo periods. Spread across three floors, the museum presents outstanding masterworks in interior design from the 16th to 18th centuries.
