Berlin Family Trip: 4 Days, Relaxed
Stay in Prenzlauer Berg for the zoo, TV Tower, DDR Museum, and letting off steam on the Tempelhof lawns
Planned around children's stamina, with one main sight and one outdoor stop each day. Spend a full day at Berlin Zoo and Tiergarten park. The DDR Museum has hands-on exhibits, you can climb the dome of Berlin Cathedral, and the old Tempelhof Airport runways are ideal for biking and flying kites. Stay in quiet Prenzlauer Berg, where you can visit the Mauerpark flea market on Sundays. Heavy memorials are left out, which makes this a good fit for families with school-age children.
Summer is best for outdoor activities. Tempelhof Park closes before sunset.
