Shopping
It's huge and there's always a special something taking place on the square between the two main buildings. I recommend this mostly because I think that out of all the malls in Berlin this one is the calmest and cleanest with many good shops and it doesn't give you a headache :)

There are different markets here on Tuesdays , Fridays and Saturdays. Depending on the day there's fresh food and groceries, handmade jewelry, clothes, bags and much more. I recommend this for a little stroll (though it can be very crowded on Saturdays) and getting original souvenirs!

Drinks & Nightlife
If the weather is good you HAVE TO got there. It's my favorite bar/cafe in all of Berlin.
You take the elevator of the shopping mall up to the second highest floor, walk through the car park and up a slope and enter a completely different world: Up on the rooftop is a huge garden with string lights and a spectacular view, especially at sunset: You can see all of Berlin covered in warm yellow and pink.
It is great for every type of visitor: There are cosy corners for lovebirds, open spaces and big tables for groups and families and at night there's nice electronic music.
After 4pm they usually charge around 3-4 € entrance fee.

This is not exactly a park nor a bar but it is why I love Kreuzberg. It's simply a bridge over the canal and somehow the people of Kreuzberg have decided to make this the go to place on a warm summer evening. Everybody is sitting around on the ground, having a beer and some snacks and there are street musicians playing. The atmosphere is always very relaxed.
Around the bridge are some nice restaurants (you should try the pizza), cafes, an ice cream parlor and a späti (small drinks/tabacco/sweets shop). So you'll get everything you need here.

Warning: This is not chic and lovely - it is shabby and smoky and it's right above the notorious Kottbusser Tor. But it has a very original "Kreuzberg-Vibe", the drinks are extremely cheap and the mood is usually very good and so is there odd selection of music, from trash to electro and traditional Turkish songs. I really love it there - especially on summer nights, when you can sit outside on the terrace/ balcony and watch whatever is going on down on the streets.
If you want to find it: It's up the stairs next to the flower shop.

It's a bit of a hidden jam. You walk through a nondescript door next to a Turkish bakery, up the stairs of what looks like a normal staircase and then find yourself in front of the bouncers. The music varies from hip-hop to electronic music and sometimes there are live-concerts. They charge a few Euros but it's usually rather cheap. As pretty much everything at Kottbusser Tor it's a little bit shabby, but I find it charming.

Ritter Butzke has nice dance floors and usually very good DJs (electronic music mostly).
The entrance fees are higher than the usual Kreuzberg prices but it's worth a visit.

This is one of my favorite gay bars/clubs - of course heterosexuals are also very welcome there :) . It plays mostly mainstream and 90s/2000s classics and the dance floor is never empty. I prefer going there after 2/3 am because it is less crowded then. Entrance is usually free.
