Most things have been covered in the previous replies, the sony centre (postdamer Platz) is well worth a look (go at night as it's light up) there's a building you can get the lift up for an amazing panorama of the city.

The Fernsehturm... great views and well worth it! Built by the East Germans for having a good look at what was going on in West Berlin  :nerd:

I never got to the TV tower, this is the one i was thinking off, http://www.panoramapunkt.de/en/welcome.html
Next to the sony centre so gives you more of a central view.

Second that, will go as far as saying most German cities are pretty good places to go.
Just got in from Düsseldorf today after a business trip to Duren, sat nav had a mare so got a good drive around the city before finding the airport :laugh:
Old East Germany can be a bit imposing but has cheeky Germanic Croydon thing going on.
