Let’s The bathing ship – The beach in the middle of the city, giga-pool in the Spree, beach bar with a view of the TV tower and sand between your toes.

The Badeschiff Berlin revives the old tradition of river swimming pools and is an absolute summer must. On 1400 exotic square metres, people meet here for a Tropical Cocktail between two lengths in a barge converted into a huge swimming pool, for yoga in the sand under palm trees (the Berlin version), or simply to do nothing. And if it gets chilly for a day, slip into the sauna.

Run the film! Open-air movie theatres have a tradition, especially beautiful in the Friedrichshain open-air cinema.

When the season of open-air cinemas begins in May in the capital, fans flock to the open-air movie theatres again until September. One of the largest in Berlin is the Friedrichshain open-air cinema. Up to 2000 cinema fans sit amidst trees and meadows in the park on Landsberger Allee on the lawn, on benches or at the seated tables. You can bring food and drink with you – or buy something at the kiosks.

Date: 18 May – 11 September 2022

Thai Park Berlin – there’s nothing else like it in Germany. In Berlin, the Thai Park brings a bit of Bangkok’s Yaowarat to the capital of currywurst.

Over 60 “street vendors” sell their snacks at weekends in the park in Berlin that is actually called Preussenpark. Today, everyone knows it only as Thai Park, ever since Asian immigrant families met in a park in Kreuzberg in 1995 so as not to lose their relationship with their old homeland. Over time, the small family reunion turned into a real Asian “street food festival”. If you long for truly authentic Thai cuisine, all you have to do is follow the exotic smells wafting over Kreuzberg on Friday.

Date: April – October, Friday to Sunday
