Summer – when Berlin really comes alive.


With warmer days and longer nights Berliners flock to the city’s parks, bars, restaurants and nearby lakes. Rent a paddle boat with friends on the Kanuliebe or enjoy the buzz of Paul Lincke-Ufer where you’ll see locals with beers in hand, bumping into friends, enjoying the sun and embracing summer in the city. And don’t forget outdoor party spots such as Club der Visionäre

Autumn – for walks, roller-skating and bike rides.


As the days get shorter and temperatures start to drop wrap up for autumnal walks or bike rides at Treptower Park or Tempelhofer Feld a former airport turned electric park where you’ll find people roller-skating, flying kites or just catching up. Jazz up your autumnal wardrobe with some vintage shopping at spots like Calypt - a curated vintage boutique.
