Berlin is very flat, so there are only a few spots that grant you views over the whole city. Instead of waiting in line to climb the Fernsehturm or the Reichstagskuppel, I suggest you head to Kreuzberg’s Viktoriapark. This secret spot in Berlin is actually the highest elevation in the city and offers spacious grassy areas that are ideal for a picnic while enjoying the sunset. In the park you will also find an idyllic pond, a beautiful waterfall, a beer garden, and on top of the hill you will stumble upon a carefully designed Prussian National monument for the Liberation Wars, which resembles the spire tops of a Gothic church. The view from up there is wonderful – well worth the (slight) trek.
