Garmin Velothon
maandag 12 mei 2014
Berlin is a city that – as many people will tell you – is best experienced by bike. The city is relatively flat, spacious and full of sites that can be taken in via two wheels, making Berlin perfect biking fodder. So it’s no surprise that the Garmin Velothon – a mammoth race round Berlin’s centre and southerly regions, has grown to become Europe’s second largest cycle race, with some 13,000 cyclists of various ages and abilities getting on their bike every May.

Getting Romantic in Berlin
maandag 14 april 2014
Berlin. Poor but sexy – but also, romantic, tender, suave and sophisticated? The last three adjectives may be pushing it a little, but romance is surprisingly easy to come by in this city. It may not have the gushing grandeur of Paris of the exuberant elegance of Rome, but Berlin can surprise you with some perfect spots to share with your beloved.

Miniloft's Recommended Events - April 2014
The Dong Xuan Center
vrijdag 28 maart 2014
There are many reasons to take a quick trip east and head to the Dong Xuan Centre. A cavernous complex formed from a series of hangars, the Dong Xuan Center, located in Lichtenberg is Berlin’s largest Asian Supermarket. But it’s also a treasure box of wholesale wares that range from the sublime to the incredibly plastic (a smell that will definitely waft past your nose whilst walking around), a place to buy some aromatic and soothing Pho – a clear and fragrant soup with beef and noodles – to nourish you in between all the wandering around.
Transport update for Miniloft Guests!
vrijdag 28 maart 2014
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.
Café Bondi
dinsdag 18 maart 2014
The effects of the various nationalities that comprise Berlin can be seen everywhere. Be it the Vietnamese Dong Xuan Center market or the amazing NY influence in the pastrami at Mogg & Melzer, it’s pretty clear that more = merrier when it comes to the international influence on Berlin’s food and drink. We’ve noticed a strong correlation between cracking coffee and Australia, which is why Café Bondi is the pick this week.
Girls Day at the Freie University
maandag 17 maart 2014
When I was growing up, my mother told me I could be anything I wanted to be. That ethos is more attainable than ever for young girls, but how do you convince someone to pursue that dream, and turn it into a reality? The Girls Day at the Freie University here in Berlin is one such way – an open day, aimed at 5th to 10th graders that are keen to do it differently.
Updates from Museum Island…
woensdag 5 maart 2014
The museums of Berlin are the first place on many a visitors itinerary, with the epicenter of cultural musings located on the ever efficiently named Museumsinsel – Museum Island. Boasting heavy hitters like the Pergamon, the Altes Museum, the Neues Museum (of David Chipperfield interior fame), the Alte Nationalgalerie and the Bodes Museum, it’s an area that has endured the test of time. But there are plenty of updates from this most dependable area of Berlin, including a great new way to explore it.
