This ride takes you off the beaten track without forgetting some true Berlin classics.

We recommend starting this day by planning the end: head to Rocket Wine to pick up a fi ne natural wine to enjoy on your balcony – an essential part of any Berlin evening. Next, comfort your senses at Atelier Oblique with a scented candle that hits your nose just right. Head into Kollwitzkiez and to the Tchoban Foundation to explore some architectural drawings. The buildingʹs beautiful façade alone is worth the trip. Thereʹs no shortage of superb dining options in Prenzlauer Berg, but to make this trip extraordinary book a table for dinner at Bar Normal. Alternatively, order some oh-so-slurpable Asian food at Sword Master Noodle. After dinner, enjoy a spot of stargazing at the Zeiss–Großplanetarium or, if you really want to escape the world, catch a fl ick at muchloved indie cinema Lichtblick. Itʹs your choice how you end the day: wine with your besties (remember that bottle) or bar chats with new pals. Let the night begin!
