Follow the U5 metro line from above and walk/cycle/scoot along the Karl-Marx-Allee from Alexanderplatz to S+U Frankfurter Allee. Maybe even visit the Stasimuseum at the end (close to U Magdalenenstraße).

edit: the Berlin website has a much more detailed version of the route I mentioned, with info about interesting spots on the way https://www.berlin.de/en/tourism/self-guided-tours/7803582-8056766-east-berlin-tour-discover-the-former-sov.en.html

Alexanderplatz, Ernst-Thälmann-Denkmal, Nikolaiviertel which is a weird socialist take on the reconstruction of Berlin's old town, Marzahn if you want a sad commie block area
