Five Tips for this Weekend

  • A couple of decades ago, a Japanese TV channel planted cherry trees all over the former Wall path. This is the time that the cherry trees start to blossom.  Serious blossom will be in mid-April, but you can already see a little of that along the Wall Path, e.g. in Bornholmer Str. Curiously enough, there is blossom on the trees leading to Schönhauser Allee, but not the ones leading to Pankow. Perhaps different types. 



  • Due to the spring, there are also new festivals. The Spring Fair in Kurt Schumacher Damm provides a somewhat generic mixture rides, food stalls and general fair atmosphere, with fireworks on Saturday (open daily, free entrance; payment for the rides) ; the Dueppel Museum will "chase winter away" in a traditional Medieval event (Sat + Sun) 


  • Also: nature activities, e.g. at the Ökowerk in the Grunewald Forest, or in the Britzer Muehle
  • A music festival in FEZ, hiphop for children in Radialsystem and many more music / theatre activities ; as well as museums, on the map
  • And a kind reminder : there is a BVG Strike on Monday. Bike, walk or use the S Bahn (it is working)

Events for the weekend, March 22-24

Several recommendations for this weekend


  • Spring is here! And for a change, not only the calendar is changing, there is actually a warm weekend. You can already enjoy such events as Domäne Dahlem's Spring Fair (Sat + Sun) . If you're looking into something that feels a little more rural and excursion like, the Vierfelderhof in Gatow is also holding a Spring Festival on the grounds (where? Have a look at the map!) . Besides that - plenty of food and flea markets at the weekend, including one for vegetarians/ vegans in the Kuhlhaus  . Another place that opens the season is Prinzessinengarten

  • Museum lovers, do not despair, in fact - celebrate! While the sun is out, you can still enjoy many interesting activities in the different museums at the weekend, the highlight of which is the re-opening of Martin-Gropius-Bau, with (ta-da!) free admission! (Sat + Sun) 
  • Music fans can, among other things, visit the Philharmonie for a children concert (both Sat and Sun)
