Events and activities for a summer weekend in Berlin

events for the summer Berlin weekend

In the north of Berlin there is currently a small street art installation to admire that reflects this year's Berlin summer well. There someone put a fir branch in a scaffolding and decorated with a few Christmas tree balls. Christmas in midsummer - not so absurd in terms of weather, when you consider that it is often warm early in Berlin at the end of the year.

But the summer doldrums are now over. A lot of sun and warmth is expected at the weekend, and this weather should be used. Who knows how quickly it is over! Here are a few events that fit perfectly with the summer weekend in Berlin.

1. horse racing in Hoppegarten
   On Sunday, the “Grand Prize of Berlin” will take place on the racetrack in Hoppegarten - the most important date for the season for Berlin horse fans. In addition to the sporting competition, this event is also a social highlight in which prominence from the capital meets.

But also for families who just want to spend a nice afternoon, Hoppegarten is a nice destination. You can be on the meadow with the picnic blanket, beer and bratwurst and follow the races. You may even be able to put a little money yourself. The system of horse racing and betting may not be easy, but lay people can also enjoy the unique atmosphere on the edge of the racetrack. A nice afternoon in Hoppegarten - whether with or without a hat.

1. boats borrow in wrangelkiez
   For a short and uncomplicated family excursion within Berlin, the rental of small flashing or larger houseboats near the Oberbaumbrücke is ideal. These so -called water carriers make it possible to explore the Spree in a charming and original way. Especially on Sunday, when the weather becomes summery, this is a popular activity. A journey is recommended to the east - past the Molecule Man, the island of youth and through Treptow to the old town of Köpenick.

2. Visit

   street food markets
   Enjoy the beautiful weather without a jacket and eat outside - you should definitely do that on a summer weekend in Berlin. Visit one of the city's popular street food markets, such as the Thaipark in the Prussian park in Wilmersdorf. Here you can enjoy a fresh papaya salad and a fresh coconut for a refreshing drink. Or visit the Mussel Festival in the Jockel beer garden in Kreuzberg, where you can try the popular Turkish street duties from Midye 47.

3. Freeken cinema visit
   The open -air cinema has not been really pleasant in the past few weeks, but this weekend you can leave the cuddly blanket at home and instead relax on the picnic ceiling in the open -air cinema. For example, the film “Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part one” is shown in the beautiful Schlosspark Biesdorf. In the open -air cinema Kreuzberg in the courtyard of the Kunstquartier Bethanien on Mariannenplatz, the satirical tragicomedy "Triangle of Sadness" is running on Saturday, which takes a look at human abysses.

4. Observe the Perseid star sniffs
   In the night of Saturday for Sunday, you can watch a fascinating natural spectacle: the Perseiden star pounds. In order to be able to recognize you in the night sky, you should leave the city center of Berlin. The Hagelberg near Bad Belzig offers a good option. If you prefer to stay in the city, you can see a hill like the Teufelsberg in the west of the city. With a picnic blanket, snacks and drinks, this will be a nice campaign for the Saturday night. The best observation conditions for the shooting stars are available at 3 a.m. Remember to want something!
