• Tour boats from the pier on the central promenade, opposite the Stralau peninsula, head out to the green waterways of the southeast
• Soviet War Memorial in the middle of the park is a war grave for about 7,000 soldiers, so plan a quiet walk through it with kids
• Archenhold Observatory inside the park is Germany's oldest, with a 21-meter refracting telescope and a small planetarium; check its own hours before going

Treptower Park runs 88 hectares along the Spree, with wide lawns for ball games and picnics and a riverside promenade where tour boats leave from the pier. An arched bridge crosses to Insel der Jugend, a small island with boat hire.

It also holds the Soviet War Memorial, a solemn war grave with a 30-meter soldier statue, and the Archenhold Observatory, home to a 21-meter telescope and a small planetarium.
