Located in Alexanderplatz in the heart of eastern Berlin, this 1960s structure towers over the whole city. Built by communist authorities at the height of the Cold War, West Berliners cheekily christened the TV Tower "the Pope's revenge" because of the sparkling cross which appears on the pinnacle of the tower when the sun shines on it. Although regarded by many as an eyesore, the views from the top are hard to beat. The revolving Telecafè at 207 meters (680 feet) is a pleasant spot to stop for a coffee and a relaxing gaze over the city.

Hanfparade (Hemp Parade)Aug 1st, 2009
1:00PM
Berlin is the capital city in many respects. According to the organizers of the Hanfparade (Hemp Parade), it is also the capital of the cannabis legalization movement. Every summer, a colorfully decorated procession starts from the Fernsehturm and floats along the Brandenburg Tor accompanied by thousands of revelers crying out in favor of the legalization of marijuana. The event is not just about getting high, but also about the free use of cannabis for medicinal and other purposes. Nevertheless, pleasure seems to be pretty high on the agenda with plenty of dancing, hemp beer consumption and joints, which are mercifully ignored by the police.
