Hi everyone,
I was lucky to study in Berlin many years ago, before the wall came down. One of my all time favourite places - and it still exits - is the Biergarden Golgatha in the Viktoriapark in Kreuzberg. Great Atmosphere, great views, relaxed atmosphere… exactly what you’re looking for on a warm summer evenig…
Starting from this month, every first Sunday in the month is free of charge ( Eintritt frei! ) for some museums in Berlin.
Check it out here:
This place is not free of charge, but very funny. Some German knowledge would be good though:
Oh how nice that is!!
This thread is going to be very useful for me. In a week I am going to visit Berlin with one of my friends! Thanks a lot to everyone for sharing such great tips and places!

Today 60 years ago 13.08.1961 the GDR ( DDR in German ) started building “the wall” ( die Mauer ). The link is to the Berlin war memorial ( Gedenkstätte Berliner Mauer ).
My father went in 1962 with a friend to Berlin ( coming from the west ), because he wanted to see with his own eyes that they - the GDR - are really going to do this. Here’s a picture from him back then and in 2017 once the wall was long gone at almost the same spot:

Hey Janina!
So I don’t live in Berlin but I visited recently and we went to this stunning restaurant called CROCODILLO! The food was insane and the restaurant itself is so cool! It’s a whole culinary and visual experience. Highly recommend.
Big love,

Hi @Janina
