HANGOVER CURE

Nothing beats a run around Kollwitzkiez, even if you had one too many last night.

For this route, start at Rosenthaler Platz along the walk of shame – down Torstrasse, whose bars usually no one leaves before 2am. Turn left onto Schönhauser Allee and soak up the bustle of Mitte. Pass through Kollwitzpark and stop either at 44 Brekkie for an insanely soft brioche or at La Criolla for one of the best empanadas in town. Since it’s all about balance, take it slow and opt for another break on this hangover route – a massage at Dien Chan 2.0 or a breathwork session at Hale.Now Studios, perhaps. Wanna skip the headache next time? Stop by the Mindful Drinking Club for plenty of alcohol-free options. End your run with a cold pressed juice from Daluma.

We all know about the merits of Vietnamese food, but what about a massage straight from Vietnam? Relax and elevate your mood at this family-run studio.

Serves all the greens that your taste buds crave, from cold pressed juices to raw food salads and homemade coconut yoghurt.

Let’s be honest, there can never be enough bakeries – especially when they are as authentic and good as this one.

Named after Käthe Kollwitz, this park is inspired by the painter’s spirit to this day. Enjoy a coffee in one of the many cafes nearby or sit under a tree and soak up the energy of this district.

Get some Neapolitan bella vita at this kiosk. You can eat your pizza in front of the stand or in the park across the street.

South Asian crossover blending Sri Lankan and German cuisine. Colombo chicken, meatballs, seasonal chutneys and cheesecake are amongst the tasty highlights.

Shop selling alcohol-free drinks for a more conscious drinking culture. Plenty of options for a headache-free weekend.
