Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin

Art meets Mies van der Rohe

""Neue Nationalgalerie" is THE museum for modern art in Berlin, it is simply a must-go. Recently renovated with more to come, it's an absolute must-visit!"

With the Neue Nationalgalerie being the museum of modern art in Berlin, it is simply a must-go. Not only will you be able to see a mesmerizing collection of masterpieces from the early 20th century, you will also get a chance to experience the unique building, interior design and sculpture garden by famous architect Mies van der Rohe all in one go.

Growing up in Berlin, I remember distinctly the first art exhibitions that made an impression on me – and several ones were at Neue Nationalgalerie. Maybe because the building sits between "Tiergarten", Berlin's green lung, and "Potsdamer Platz" with its famous skyscrapers. Or maybe because the museum is surrounded by a terrace occupied by dancers and skaters.

Good to know: Admission is free every Thursday between 4-8 pm.

Neighborhood Turkish Bakery

My favorite item they offer has to be their potato gözleme: it's a generous portion that's rich, flavorful, and both crispy and soft.

Vegan ice cream

"Balaram" in Berlin is a vegan ice cream shop. They have 12 varieties and extra toppings are free! It's very good, it doesn't taste like ice or sherbet...

The Sanctuary Berlin

The Sanctuary

Vegan Italian Bakery

I am a big fan of their pistachio maritozzo which is a soft Roman bun filled with cream and topped with crushed pistachios. It's absolutely amazing, and not overwhelmingly sweet.

Macondo Berlin

Macondo

Creative Latin Cafébar in Friedrichshain

One word to describe Macondo? Bustling! It's not the place if you need a quiet space to work, but it's nice if you want to have it all: work, play, wine, and coffee.

The Berlin Art Market

Buy Local in Berlin

I suggest stopping by the Berlin Art Market by the Zeughaus to pick up a locally created art piece. Since the market is located in the center of Museum Island it's easy to reach.
