Was alles so in der Stadt los ist.
David Bowie Exhibition, Berlin
'Montag, d
If you’ve been in Berlin in the last few weeks – or indeed, if you’ve been round the Miniloft office in the last few weeks – at some point, you may have encountered some advertisement, some conversation, some article about the newly opened ‘David Bowie’ exhibition. Like Christopher Isherwood in the 1930’s, for expats, Bowie is one of Berlin’s most famous adopted sons, and the ‘David Bowie’ exhibition offers a fascinating glimpse into an iconic career, including one of Bowie’s most creative periods, coincidentally occurring in 1970’s Berlin.
Transport update for Miniloft Guests!
'Freitag, d
Anyone who is visiting Miniloft, and indeed, the area around Miniloft, will surely have noticed the huge amount of work-in-progress to finally connect Nordbahnhof and Hauptbahnhof.
Berlin Yoga Festival
'Donnerstag, d
Head out of the city for a weekend of fresh air, music, meditation and Yoga. This June 13-16th sees the 9th annual Yoga Festival Berlin.
Erste Mai
'Freitag, d
Der 1. Mai ist eines der Ereignisse in Berlin. Einer Legende zufolge versammeln sich Hexen, schnattern und sind ausgelassen in der Walpurgisnacht, die Nacht vom 30. April zum 1. Mai. In Berlin war der 1. Mai auch ein wichtiger Feiertag in Ostdeutschland, und er ist immer noch der internationale Tag der Arbeit, von der Arbeitbewegung und links gerichteten Zellen gefeiert.
Berlin Marathon
'Montag, d
The Miniloft apartments are extremely convenient and comfortable for marathon runners. A 20-minute walk (or quick run) or 15 minutes with public transport gets you to the Marathon start and finish line at Brandenburg Gate. Runners appreciate being able to cook their own meals in the comfort of their own apartment, and of course we’re happy to recommend our favorite neighborhood restaurants for carb-loading.
How to get to the Berlinale
'Montag, d
The main Berlinale campus at Potsdamer Platz is easily reached from the Miniloft Mitte apartments. Take the S-Bahn (Nordbahnhof to Potsdamer Platz, door-to-door travel time 20 minutes), or a "Kurzstrecke" (short trip) taxi, which costs 4 EUR. Please note that the discounted short trip price is only valid for taxis hailed on the street – go around the corner to Luisenstrasse and pick up a taxi heading south. There are always plenty of taxis.
Berlin Half Marathon
'Montag, d
The Berlin Marathon gets a lot of press, but its upstart little sibling, the half marathon, is just as speedy and just as popular (well, the race fills up fast). Accreditation begins in just a few days! It may be -18 degrees outside right now, but soon you'll be running down Berlin streets in shorts on a (hopefully cool yet not-too-cool, overcast, but not rainy) April day. The starting gun fires on Karl Marx Allee, and the route wends its way past central Berlin's landmarks, around Alexanderplatz and down Unter den Linden
