BUN RUN

One good reason to leave your apartment before 9am? How about a breakfast best-of?

Start this route at Albatross for a “Queen A” pastry before running into Hasenheide. Going up the hill can feel like an endurance test, but if you’re really feeling it, you can continue up the “spiral” and past the little pond on your way back down. Cross Columbiadamm and run across Tempelhofer Feld, leaving at Oderstrasse or Herrfurthstrasse. Continue down Hermannstrasse onto Kopfstrasse, then run down Mittelweg and cross the Thomashöhe into grand, green Körnerpark. Finally, head into Anita Berber Park, across Tempelhofer Feld and back to where you started.

Bet you fall in love with these workouts in a heartbeat. The pulse rate tracking technology at this studio will give you the extra push to keep on going.

Coffee shop or religion? Looking at this cafe’s recycling tricks – they turn leftover milk into ricotta – the answer is pretty clear.

Longing for flaky croissants, delicious baguettes or a pain au chocolat after a sweaty run? Devour these treats at Albatross without a bad conscience: everything is organically and sustainably sourced.

These elevations were formed from mountains of Second World War rubble and are a favorite with dog walkers.

This former airport offers an enormous amount of space for sports while still leaving enough room for an expansive neighborhood garden.

You’ll feel like you’re on vacation at this grand escape. This inner-city park resembles a palace garden, making it Neukölln’s Sanssouci.

It’s the beating heart of Schillerpromenade, with a vibrant, multicultural mix of cafes, restaurants and shops.

Berliners’ summer hangout of choice? One of the many parks. Neukölln’s green oasis offers much more than just nature, including a cinema, a zoo and fun playgrounds.

High-end brunch spot. The tomato tonnato salad, three-cheese toasted sandwich, lemon drizzle cake and toasted coconut bread do the trick.

Bergmannstraße 52, Kreuzberg

Japanese hideout opposite Hasenheide park. Enjoy bar bites, shochu and sake at this tranquil oasis.

Spätis are not just 24-hour corner stores; they’re part of Berlin’s DNA. Chicos is no exception.
