Hidden treasures of Berlin

As soon as school finished and summer began I put some flowers in my hair and went to Berlin. Here are some of my favourite spots I found there...

1. Club der Visionäre: grab a beer and soak up the sun on a float with live music all day and night.


2. The black and white photo booth next to the Kaiser in Kottbusser Tor: finally an old-school photo booth that does the individual four photos, lovely description of itself as well.

3. Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park: an absolutely massive and beautiful park with a very impressive memorial of which the statue pictured here is just a small part.

4. Le Petit Mignon: quite a pretentious little French record/magazine/book/zine/poster shop with a reluctantly charming owner, think Bernard Black. Fantastic selection of everything.

6. Eiszeit Cinema: very nice independent cinema tucked away in a backyard. Various bike films and videos were showing when I was there, as part of the International Bicycle Courier Festival.



7. Bull Bar: somehow I ended up here the majority of late nights in Berlin, irresistible combination of good beer, metal heads and general cosyness, on Wrangelstrasse 90, Kreutzberg.



8. Sanatorium: super slick bar on Frankfurter Allee, nice drinks and music.


9. Best street ever: Falckensteinstrasse - best pizza ever on one side and best ice cream ever on the other side!


10. The International Bicycle Courier Festival mentioned above was organised by the Berlin Massive who have the best taste in everything, larger size of the guide on my flickr page.
