Favorite sightseeing places

"My favorite place is the bank of the Spree near Elsenbrücke on the Friedrichshain side - it’s the best place in Berlin to watch the sun go down," says Sharon Schael, who sells Venezuelan street food from her food truck.

"I like to visit the flak towers from the Second World War in Humboldthain Park - Berlin has such an interesting history," says Simon Ellery from Australia, also known as the Sausage Man Never Sleeps.

"My favorite place is Oberbaumbrücke, which once served as the border between East and West. Today it is full of life. I love vibrant streets, and the bridge itself is beautiful, too," says Aglaen Rodríguez, owner of the handicraft shop, Rincón México.

"My favorite place is the Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park. I love the atmosphere there in autumn - It reminds me a little of my old hometown," says Vladislav Gachyn from Goldies chip shop.

"My favorite place is Spreepark, a deserted former amusement park. It has such a mystical, romantic atmosphere," says Austrian Stefanie Drobits from Fräulein Brösels Schnapserwachen.
