Recommend me stuff to do in berlin

As a part of my highschool graduation, I will be going to Berlin with my class from 7th to 11th of July, and I will have about 2-4 hours of free time a day

I have free access to public transport, a burner phone, a rainbow collar and 100€ I intend to spend on food and entertainment for 4 days.

Also, I'm 17, so no KitKat club, but everything from museums to restaurants, pride parades, anti Israel demos, or some good glory holes (or some good massage for someone here) will go.

Looking forward for your Suggestions :)

You're 17 and expecting Internet folks to guide you to sexual experiences in Germany.... Yes, BfV, this post right here
- You ever heard about a joke? Also, I have found my ex and my dad that way, so trying wont hurt anyone
  Also what does the german Soccer Assoziation have to do with this?
  
  I know you're not from Germany or ever been there before but don't be so obtuse. BfV = Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz
Hello, was in the same situation as you couple years ago, so here are my personal recommendations. I can recommend taking a look into Rosenthaler Straße 39 and walking along Straße des 17. Juni. Maybe leaving a little autograph on the remnants of the Berlin Wall just opposite to the Mercedes Benz Arena. I can also recommend trying going to Curry 36. If your class has to go to a museum, then the Spy Museum is the most fun, but the DDR museum certainly is way more interesting. Checkpoint Charlie is a must-go, but it can not recommend their museum nearby. The absolute highlight for everyone was a tour around the Berlin underground, which was used by people to flee the DDR, but I think it is very hard to find a guide for it. Nonetheless, just taking a stroll around Berlin is a experience of itself, as some places are just packed in culture and history.
The Computer Game museum is pretty cool
If you like museums, get the Museum Pass, which grants you access to 30 museums over the course of 3 days. Just a heads up that some of the museums (especially the ones on Museum Island) are so popular you have to book a reservation the day before. Only 2-4 hours of free time per day is quite limiting, though.
Pergamonmuseum is the most popular museum in Berlin, but I believe it's under renovation work right now (which sucks; it has the best collection of hot naked muscular statues and reliefs). My personal recommendations are Altes Museum, Bode-Museum, the Gemäldegalerie, and the German Spy Museum.
Rüyam Gemüse Kebab makes my favourite döner kebabs. I got addicted to the one on Hauptstraße back when I was there. Other people have different favourite döner stores, so try them all out while you can!
- Most of the Museums are free for people younger than 18 anyways. But for adults the Museum pass is a great advice.
What's a rainbow collar? Like a literal collar with a rainbow color scheme?
It's pride month so I'm sure you'll be able to find some parades or something going on in that vein.
As far as museums, there's a cool one I went to when I was 16, but I don't remember the name as it was about 12 years ago now. There's Checkpoint Charlie which I would recommend to just about anyone to check out if you're curious about history literally at all.
- Its a Kind of scarf I tie around my neck, with rainbow colors
Nollendorfplatz is the main gay village. Easily reached on the U-Bahn. Just saying.
The Futurium is a quite cool new Museum. Located close to the Hauptbahnhof (Berlin Main Station). Its for free. Its a Museum about the future with lots of interesting stuff on for example future of medicine, future of transport and so on. It has a positive view on many topics even though it of course adresses also the problems. Just super cool and very interactive.
I don't know if you'll be there in time for it but the Pride Parade on Straße des 17. Juni is really fun! I went once and had a great time.
Take the 106 bus. Goes past a lot of tourist attractions.
Get yourself a meshtastic node and start talking to locals what's is up right now and what curiosities can be found nearby.
Go see the Blue Man Group https://www.stage-entertainment.de/musicals-shows/blue-man-group-berlin/english
They have a double decker bus tour of the city https://www.hop-on-hop-off-tickets.com/berlin-bus-tours/?ci=1&cm=554807445_1300723378647269_m_s_sightseeing+bus+berlin_b_%7Bextensionid%7D
Those too were my favorite things when I visited.
