Is Tempelhofer Feld worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Tempelhofer Feld earns the hours.

Allow 1–3 hr.

There's nothing like cycling or kiting down a real 1.2km airport runway with the whole flat city horizon around you — a defiantly democratic space Berliners voted to keep undeveloped. The catch: it's almost shadeless and windswept, dead in winter, and there are no facilities to speak of, so come prepared.
