Open air concerts + theatre

Opera singers, stage actors, rock artists, jazz greats, or entire orchestras can be seen at a number of beautiful locations across the city: and not just in the city center, but also outside in the forest or next to the water. The favorite spot for Berliners to spend their summer is under the stars – and obviously there is a demand to bring the many cultural aspects of the city to the outdoors. In the warm months of the year, there is a plethora of open air concerts and plays at Berlin's famous outdoor venues.

Freischwimmer (EN)

Chill out in a restaurant along the water

Located directly on the water, this romantic, relaxed and comfortable restaurant is decorated with wooden furniture, old lamps and ornate picture frames. Simply put, Freischwimmer is a cool location in Kreuzberg’s Flutgraben area. The restaurant is in a very old building that was once used for renting and repairing boats. The entrance is directly next to Berlin’s oldest gas station. You can sit outdoors during the summer and indoors during the winter.
