Raft floating on the Havel

Raft floating on the Havel

 

Berlin is surrounded by a lot of lakes. Rent yourself a swimming beach to party, grill, swim or chill out. Last Saturday we packed our swimsuits, jumped on a raft and floated on the Havel. The raft is equipped with a big barbecue grill, so we had a great dinner on the boat while enjoying one or two sundowners.

Salsa at Monbijou Park

Salsa at Monbijou Park

 

If you‘re looking for something removed from techno clubs, this beach bar hosts every Thursday evening tango, salsa and cha-cha nights. Beginners of all ages are welcome. While enjoying a delicious drink you can have a beautiful overlook of Museum Island. During summer they also run a theater, which has played in the Monbijoupark on the river Spree in Berlin’s historical centre since 1999.

Summer in Berlin is here! Now, you want to spend as much time outside as possible, so why not watch a movie at an open-air cinema? The Freiluftkino Hasenheide is arranged like an amphitheatre and located in the midst of a little forest in the Hasenheide Volkspark.

KiezWalk in Berlin

 

I love to wonder around Berlin and explore the small shops and hidden places of the city. On a neighborhood tour you can get to know your neighborhood. I also organize KiezWalks to help others discovering Berlin: Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Prenzlauer Berg.

 

Or you walk with me through

  • Berlin Schöneberg (Sex, Love and Adversity Tour) or
  • Berlin Mitte (Architecture and Art Tour).

Visit Hoppegarten and watch a horse race

Hoppegarten 

 

Up for a race? Did you know that Berlin has historic horse track? In 1829 Berlin became the second German city to stage thoroughbred racing. Hoppegarten soon became the centre of German racing, similar to Newmarket, Chantilly or The Curragh. All classic races, with the exception of the German Derby, were run at Hoppegarten. Until today you can visit Hoppegarten and have a great day trip that feels like some vacation.

 

Rennbahn Hoppegarten, Goetheallee 1, 15366 Hoppegarten, www.hoppegarten.com
