Diverse indoor activities

An invitation to go on culinary journeys of discovery is always a good plan! Berlin's neighborhood bookstores entice you with a cozy atmosphere that invites you to linger. How about, for example, a visit to Leseglück in Kreuzberg or to the book canteen in Moabit? Simply leaf through a book with a good coffee and let your mind wander. And if you're looking for something a little different, the Museum Barberini in Potsdam is currently offering a fascinating exhibition about Camille Pissarro, which has been on view since June 14th. Over 100 works from various collections are gathered there.

In addition to these cultural highlights, there is also fun for the whole family in the Potsdam Biosphere. A covered rainforest paradise with 5,000 m² and over 20,000 plant species awaits you here. Of course, 140 animal species are also represented - an experience for young and old!

Sports and action indoors

Would you like to do some sport? In Berlin you can exhaust yourself in East 61, one of the largest indoor beach volleyball halls. With nine fields and a menu of delicious pizzas and snacks, there is no chance of boredom. If you prefer something even more active, you will find numerous options such as climbing at BergWerk.Berlin, where heights of up to 25 meters can be climbed.

For the more adventurous among you, it's worth a visit to Dark Matter, a unique museum on a former factory site that immerses visitors in complete darkness. Here you can explore various installations and 3D sound systems - a very special experience! Escape room fans also get their money's worth, for example in the Illuminati Escape Berlin, where you can solve puzzles in various themed rooms.
