Berlin gets in the mood for Pride Week! And we enjoy the OpenAir season to the fullest. Now that small events are allowed to take place again, every organizer is moving what is only possible outdoors. The cultural feast for the eyes and ears is accompanied by a view. Also this weekend we have something for everyone who wants to experience something or just relax: exhibitions, excursions into the countryside and the most beautiful views over the city.
Tip 1: Erlebe deine Hauptstadt!
The summer holidays are already in full flow. If you can't experience your holiday this year quite as planned, we have a great alternative for you. With the "Erlebe deine Hauptstadt" deal you travel to Berlin for three nights by train, the WelcomeCard is also included. Enough time to discover the cultural side, but also the quiet places in the countryside.

Tip 5: Improvisation group "Theatersport" at the Globe Theater
The best thing about improvisational theatre: Nobody knows from the beginning what exactly the evening will bring and you can actively participate in the performance. The group "Theatersport" was founded in 1995 and was the first improvisation group in Berlin. The performers, who put their heart and soul into their profession, each play individually for the favour of the audience. This makes the theatre stage a competition arena and the spectators the judges. Who do you think will do the race this time?
When: Friday and Saturday 7:30 pm
Where: Open Air stage at the Globe Theater, Sömmeringstraße 15, Charlottenburg

Here you can experience the Berlin of the 80s with a visit from the perspectives of the East and the West.

At breezy heights, with a cosy meal and a refreshing cocktail, you can really enjoy the end of the day - on top there is a magnificent view of the City West. Studio 14 is a rooftop lounge, which is used as a broadcast studio and is currently one of Berlin's hippest event locations. At selected times, shows from the stations Fritz or Berlin 88,8 are recorded here - another opportunity to look over the presenters' shoulders while they work.

Tip 8: 20 Sunsets on the roof of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (house of the cultures of the world)
As the setting sun slowly bathes the city in a golden light, you can listen to live music on the roof of the House of World Cultures and later immerse yourself in film worlds. The nice thing about these evenings: the artists and films you will see here are often unknown. So experience an evening full of surprises that will give you the space to discover something new.
When: Friday and Saturday, starting at 8 pm
Where: Haus der Kulturen der Welt, John-Foster-Dulles-Allee 10, Tiergarten

Tip 9: Open Air Rooftop Summer at the House of weekend
The House of Weekend is perhaps known to some as a club where you can party into the early hours. The dance floors must still be closed, so this event will transform this club into a rooftop bar with a unique view. With different theme nights every weekend, the House of Weekend creates a fantastic atmosphere with a view directly onto the TV tower and the Park Inn Hotel.
Where: House of Weekend, Alexanderstraße 7, Mitte

Tip 10: Excursions to the area around Berlin
You have the big city experiences every day, and you rather long for some peace and quiet? Many destinations in the Berlin area can be reached in under an hour, depending on the starting point. Here you will find secluded bathing lakes, picturesque villages and hikes of all levels of difficulty. Potsdam with its parks and castles and the Dutch Quarter is always worth a visit. North of Berlin there is the old town of Bernau, with sights from the last 700 years of history.
