Berlin mit Baby oder Kleinkind
'Montag, d
Ein Baby ist kein Grund seine Reisepläne einzuschränken – besonders nicht in Berlin. Ist dies doch die Stadt mit Kindercafes und der Kinderwarenbrigade, genau, in Prenzlauer Berg, wo der sie wohl kaum auf saure Gesichter stoßen, wenn Sie ihren Sprössling versorgen. Busse und Bahnen sind kinderwagenfreundlich ausgestattet, so dass Sie überall...
Exploring Berlin’s Start Up Scene
'Montag, d
According to The Local, a new start-up is founded every 20 minutes in Berlin, with their estimates suggesting 100,000 new jobs by 2020. In 2014, it was the first year of the state endorsed Long Night of the Startups – a chance for investors to meet ideas and for the rest of us to try and get our heads around what a start up is and does. Whilst the very nature of its way of business means Berlin’s start up scene is hard to pin down, with so much of it taking place near Miniloft, we thought it only fair to give you a bit of a rundown.
Torstrasse Bars and Nightlife
'Mittwoch, d
Few streets can lay claim to their own festival. But Torstrasse, located just a hop, skip and a stumble away from Miniloft, is not really your average street. With a dizzying mix of eclectic bars densely packed along what is sometimes a seemingly endless road, Torstrasse is the place to indulge your multiple drinking personalities, or hone in on a style that suits. In your face, Notting Hill.
Swing Dancing in Berlin
'Donnerstag, d
Swing has been at the heart of Berlin life since the 1920’s. Back when Berlin was burgeoning as a hedonistic metropolis, the Charleston was an emblem of the anything goes decadence of the finer days of the Weimar. After the collapse and the rise of the Nazi’s, swing became a political battleground. It was the fuel of the Swing Kids, a counter-culture of 14-18 year olds based mainly in Hamburg and Berlin, who sort to define themselves by their love of jazz music and the accompanying dance.
Gaming for Grownups
'Donnerstag, d
Gaming steps out of the cultural sidelines in our city, especially for grownups. With a strong embracing of all things digital, combined with a penchant for counter-cultures of all kinds, it’s no surprise you’ll find gaming options a-plenty in Berlin. And whether you are looking for the next gaming craze, or going back to your roots, you’ll definitely find something to tickle your metaphorical joystick. Here’s Miniloft’s roundup of some of the best gaming activities in Berlin.
Das Leben nach dem Tod erkunden
'Montag, d
Berlinbesucher sind immer auf der Suche nach der Geschichte der Stadt. Warum nicht einen Schritt weiter gehen, weg von den Gebäuden hin zu den Menschen? Die ehemaligen Bewohner Berlins sind genauso interessant wie die Stadt selbst - was uns zu einem neuen Weg führt, die Stadt zu erkunden, auch bekannt unter dem Namen “Leichentourismus”.
It's here! The tram is here!
'Mittwoch, d
After many (many) years of planning, waiting, changing plans and building, the tram line along Invalidenstrasse has finally opened for fare-paying passengers. Until the Berlin Wall split the line in two, there was a good tram connection all the way down Invalidenstrasse, but it took the opening of Hauptbahnhof in 2006 to really kick-start the...
Homeless Veggie Dinner
'Montag, d
Over the years, Berlin has implemented many community-facing initiatives to ensure the city as a whole can interact and benefit from shared experience. From the excellent bulletin board of Give Something Back to Berlin through to the regular meet up of the Homeless Veggie Dinner, it’s always cheering to see events that warm your heart as the weather turns cold.
Sophienstrasse Berlin
'Freitag, d
Versteckt in der immer moderner werdenden Mitte, ist die Sophienstrasse eine jener Strassen in denen man sich in der romantischen Alten Welt Berlins verlieren kann. Nach derPreussischen Königin Sophie Luise benannt, hat die Strasse ihren Charakter anno Neunzehnhundert behalten, mit einem Mix aus Nachbarschaftsläden und der Sophienkirche.
Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and Christmas Market
'Dienstag, d
As the temperatures plummet, there is only one thing guaranteed to keep any Berliner’s heart warm this side of Christmas. The various Weihnachtsmarkt (aka Christmas Market) that spring up across the city mean you are never too far away from a glass of glühwein and a spot of arts and crafts. No exception is the sprawling Christmas marketat the...
