Have a swim at the spectacular Stadtbad Neukölln. It’s very popular, so don’t expect to swim in peace, but it’s for sure a stunning place to enjoy the water. There are also a couple of saunas, a steam bath and several thermal baths to relax and get some spa feeling at the end of the day.

You will see from far — it's a weird and interesting looking structure of Mount Mitte with some old GDR cars hanging in the air. This place is really unusual for Berlin, but it’s quite hilarious and can be fun to discover. It is a crazy maze of wheels, pipes and ropes. Some of their parcours might be a bit challenging for some, and others a breeze for the more fit ones, but it’s fun and you have a little bit of a view from the top. They also have a skyfall experience — it is included in the entry fee.

Daluma is a brand new place that has already won a lot of fans in the city. It specialises in raw food and known for its delicious cold pressed juices. They also have some small dishes for breakfast and lunch, as well as salads and smoothies that make excellent snacks during the day. The best part is that everything is prepared with a focus on healthy and sustainable living.

STAB is short for Stickabush — it is the name for one of the most loved sneaker stores in town. They have everything a sneaker collector could ever dream of, including all the major brands as well as a few more boutique ones.

How about starting your day with a power breakfast? The new Silo Cafe in the heart of Friedrichshain comes as quite the surprise in terms of style and kitchen. You would probably expect to come across a Brooklyn-inspired place like this in Mitte or Kreuzberg, but here we go with hip interior including industrial lamps and bike on the wall. They serve popular Berlin-roasted coffee from The Barn — local residents love it. In terms of food we recommend their breakfast, specifically the egg white sandwich which is huge and delicious.

This new Indonesian restaurant claims to be the place to go for all those Berliners who don’t have an Asian granny. It’s a cute sentiment and the atmosphere of the modern, yet traditional place definitely adds to the vibe. The menu is a mix of traditional dishes with a couple of modern fusion variations. They also have a burger on their menu, of course with typical Asian ingredients. In the summer this place is heaven— they have many seats outside with a view to the Watertower, in the very heart of Prenzlauer Berg.

Nudo is a brand new Italian restaurant in Kreuzberg Lausitzer Platz. Co-owned by the founder of the super successful Kochhaus stores it comes as no surprise that the recipes and ingredients are of the best of quality. The concept of Nudo is quite different. They only have one daily menu that consists of four courses and combines nouvelle cuisine and traditional dishes. It normally includes both fish and meat, but can also be requested as vegetarian. You can come here every day and each time experience something entirely new.

Santa Maria Eastside is a new Mexican joint near Boxhagener Platz in Friedrichshain. Its big sister restaurant in Kreuzberg has been a great success for many years now so it was about time for them to expand. Here you will find everything from tacos, burritos and quesadilla’s along with delicious Margaritas. The district has a couple of other spots Mexican food, unfortunately the very common Germanized and watered-down versions of it. So Santa Maria Eastside is a delight for everyone who likes their Mexican kitchen authentic.

Vietnamese restaurant Dudu at Rosenthaler Platz has been one of the most beloved places for lunch or dinner for the hip crowd of Mitte. It was long overdue that they opened a second place to meet the high demand. In their new West Berlin restaurant the concept is a little more grown up than in the East. Less premium fast food like in Mitte, more of an Asian influence and fine cuisine. The concept has been praised by the audience bringing in a lot of young people from the East who now mingle with the more established and older audience of Charlottenburg.

What makes Berlin such an attractive place is not just the pulsating nightlife and thriving creative scene, it's also the fact that time runs a little bit slower here and the pressure is not as high as in other big cities. It's a welcoming city to take it down a bit and relax for a while. In this spirit we want to send you on a special tour that includes some wellness, beauty and recreational spots so you can have a healthy and relaxing day in Berlin.

A relaxed day in Berlin: The Wellness Route

While other districts have more thriving nightlife, fashion or art scenes, Prenzlauer Berg is more known to be a laidback, calm and picturesque area. And if there is one thing that complements this kind of lifestyle it's good coffee. Of course you can get coffee at every corner in Berlin, but the real coffee lovers have a high standard. Luckily there are quite a few excellent coffee shops that have elaborate brewing methods or make their own roasts. We chose a few of them along with some other lovely places on the way for our Prenzlauer Berg Coffee Walk.
