11 great things to do in Berlin

Experience gifts allow people to share time with each other, and, in the best of cases, these experiences will make great memories to look back on and share together later in life. We have chosen 11 gift ideas for you from Berlin.

Very convenient: Of course you can give these awesome gifts to yourself as well
 

1. House Running in Berlin

Running down the wall of a building like a superhero for once – a dream. In Berlin, you can make it come true. A voucher for House Running is a perfect gift for adrenalin junkies. You’ll be running down the depths of a high-rise for a distance of 98 metres in a 90-degree angle. The speed is up to you. We wish you good nerves!

PS: For whoever prefers flying to running: You can also jump down the 125-metre high roof of the Park Inn Hotel at Alexanderplatz – on a rope, of course. I tried it out myself: it’s great fun! I can strongly recommend it.

2. Craft Beer tasting

Craft Beer is all the rage and literally on everyone’s lips. Or, at least in Berlin, there is a wide choice of places where you can taste this fine malt beverage made in craft breweries. If you haven’t quite understood all the hype around Craft Beer – or if you already are a beer connoisseur: We can only urge you to attend one of the many craft beer tastings in the Capital. Among others, craft beer tastings take place in the traditional brewery Lemke or at Bierlieb. You will find further craft breweries here.

3. Friedrichstadt-Palast

Christmas, the feast of love, is perfect for offering dear ones a feast for the senses as a gift: A visit at the Friedrichstadtpalast will transform your evening, turning it into a spectacular journey full of magic, colours and reveries – whether at Christmas, for Easter or on any ordinary weekday. Colourful feathers, glittering dresses and glamorous designs meet with breathtaking acrobatics. The Palast in Berlin-Mitte features the world’s largest show stage and has been attracting millions of visitors with its enchanting show for many years. The costumes for “THE ONE”, the new show, are absolutely spectacular: they were designed by star designer Jean Paul Gaultier himself.
