Grab a chicken döner from Mustafas Gemüse Kebap. It is a local institution and worth the 20-40 minute queue if you arrive early enough.
15:21
Walk up to Viktoriapark. The hill offers superb panoramic views across south Berlin. Arrive before the sun dips below the horizon to secure your spot.
16:21
Watch the sun set toward the SW. The golden light from 15:22 will have just faded, leaving the city in the soft twilight of the winter evening.
17:06
Head down to Wirtschaftswunder, a pub synonymous with the 'economic miracle'. Enjoy low prices and a good local Kreuzberg atmosphere to end the evening.
