Welcome, listeners, to “Things to do in Berlin!” It’s Sunday, October 19, 2025, and your globe-trotting pal, Oly Bennet, is bursting in with absurd energy and the lowdown on Berlin’s quirkiest, coolest happenings. It’s an autumn morning in the Hauptstadt—crisp air, a golden shimmer in Tiergarten, with perfect sweater weather and just enough sunshine for outdoor adventures but a hint of October chill urging you to grab a hot drink at a local café.

The city today is positively electrified, because Berlin never does weekends quietly. Notable buzz? The ESMO Congress is still wrapping up at Messe Berlin, so expect a city sprinkled with international medical experts, coffee-fueled networking, and perhaps the finest collection of lanyards ever assembled!

If you love live shows, tonight you can belt your heart out to Tina Turner’s legendary hits—“Simply The Best” is rocking the Estrel Showtheater and promising a rhinestone-fueled nostalgia trip. Or, for something more moody, All Them Witches are unleashing epic fuzzy blues at Tempodrom and bringing stoner rock with cosmic riffs and a side of doom, supported by Elder. Over at Uber Eats Music Hall, the trip-hop titans Morcheeba are soothing souls and unleashing mellow beats with new tunes from their album “Escape The Chaos.” Prefer your concerts with candlelight? Groove to a Bruno Mars tribute at the Apostel-Paulus-Kirche for soulful covers and magical vibes. If you’re a night owl or just want to rap along, Loki is set to light up Privatclub in Kreuzberg with hip-hop energy, so prep those dancing shoes!

Families and curious foodies, Diwali Festival Berlin is still going strong at AEden & OEL Garden all day—it’s a palate-popping, laugh-out-loud celebration with Bollywood DJs, live comedy, fireworks, a festive fashion show and enough curry to power an Olympic curling team. Autograph your tastebuds and join the fun before it closes at 10pm!

Art aficionados can head to HAU1 for the “Dialectics of Departure” performance, a heady blend of thought-provoking theatre and emotional storytelling as part of Berlin’s High Holidays series. Looking for creative inspiration? Snap up a spot at the creative architecture photography class—be ready for some mind-bending cityscapes and visual tricks that even the Berlin bears would envy.

If you’re after a chill and quirky local experience, the Head Spa Discovery Event on Kollwitzstraße lets you indulge in scalp treats, relaxation rituals, and—no joke—a chance to feel more zen than a Brandenburg Gate pigeon on a lazy Sunday. Locals are buzzing about the conscious dance workshops this weekend, and if all this city energy drives up hunger, rumor has it several new vegan and Asian-fusion bistros in Mitte are drawing lines of foodies eager to discover the next cult favorite.

Heads-up for travelers: Berlin’s U-Bahn lines are running smoothly this Sunday after last week’s track repairs—so whether you’re hopping to Spandau or dashing to Friedrichshain, you just might get a seat!

Berlin pro tip for today: If you’re new in town, ride tram M10 from Warschauer Straße to Prenzlauer Berg—not only is it a public transit safari through some of the city’s quirkiest neighborhoods, you’ll pass a parade of street art, local markets, and every type of Berliner imaginable (from dogs in raincoats to punk rock grandmas). And did you know? Berliners are obsessed with their currywurst—so much so, there’s an official currywurst museum. Yes, sausage has achieved cultural status here!

Coming up tomorrow, dozens more concerts, art shows, and the first traces of Halloween events will begin to haunt Berlin’s party scene. Don’t miss it! Tune in for more—we’ll keep you at the cutting edge of Berlin’s wild, world-famous, and totally offbeat ways.
