Welcome, listeners, to Things to Do in Berlin! It’s Sunday, October 26, 2025, and I’m your globe-trotting, laugh-loving Oly Bennet, bringing you the quirkiest, coolest, and most unforgettable experiences this city has to offer.

The vibe today? Classic October Berlin—crisp autumn air tingles with excitement, the leaves are putting on a gold-and-rust catwalk show, and the air is alive with weekend energy. The city’s buzzing with a mix of cozy cafés, art lovers bundled in scarves, and the sweet hint of roasted chestnuts—just watch out for those enthusiastic cyclists zooming past like they’re racing for Currywurst gold.

Let’s jump straight to the action! For music fans, don’t miss Marianne Neumann live this afternoon at Lido Berlin—perfect for those who fancy soulful tunes with their Sunday coffee, show starts at 4 p.m. If beats with more boom are your thing, tonight’s KACHU2K concert at Lokschuppen Berlin kicks off at 9 p.m.—bring your best dance moves and maybe some earplugs, just in case! Rockers can catch Les Savy Fav at SO36, guaranteed to make even the shyest Berliner nod along.

Culture vultures, you’re feasting today. The Berlin Tattoo Festival wraps up at Max-Schmeling-Halle, so see brass bands and military pageantry strut their stuff—yes, kilts and tubas all in one place. Art fiends, treat yourself to contemporary exhibitions at the bustling BIKINI BERLIN or the KW Institute for Contemporary Art—Berlin’s creativity never takes a nap! For families or anyone with a curiosity passport, swing by the Jewish Museum Berlin for public tours, or trek through history at the guided “Histories of Tanzania” tour in the Ethnological Museum.

For hands-on fun—join the Soda Social Club for Salsa Sunday at the Soda Club. Whether you’ve got moves like Jagger or two left feet, salsa socials here are all about pure joy and laughter.

Let’s talk city news. Berlin’s always evolving! According to artatberlin.com, new gallery exhibitions are popping up all over Charlottenburg and Neukölln, offering you a chance to see fresh works by rising stars and international names. On the food beat, local chatter is all about a just-opened Vietnamese bistro in Prenzlauer Berg, reported to be so authentic, you’ll think your Späti’s suddenly teleported to Hanoi. On the go? BVG is running on its regular schedule—no major delays on U- or S-Bahns today, so you can zigzag the city worry-free.

Here are my top must-do’s for peak Berlin: stroll the East Side Gallery and hunt for the quirkiest mural. Explore the indie stores and street art in Kreuzberg. Warm up with hot chocolate in a tucked-away Mitte café—bonus points if you find one with a piano. For something wild, brave the Tempelhofer Feld and race the wind on a rented bike or go people-watching—it’s Berlin’s unofficial Olympic sport.

Pro tip: Want to blend in? Practice your stoic “Berliner Schnauze” in public transit, but don’t be afraid to unleash your inner explorer. And for a kernel of Berlin wisdom: Currywurst is a breakfast, lunch, and dinner food here—don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Before signing off, a sneak peek for tomorrow—Art Basel Paris is winding down but still stirring up conversation, and rumors are swirling of a secret warehouse DJ set in Friedrichshain. Curious? You’ll have to listen in tomorrow for more.
