Welcome to Things to do in Berlin and happy Sunday, October 12th, 2025! This is your globe-trotting sports fanatic, Oly Bennet, ready to inject some high-octane fun into your Berlin adventure. The city is buzzing today—think brisk autumn air with a dash of golden sunshine and the lingering glow of last night’s Festival of Lights sparkling up the boulevards. Berlin’s famous for not sitting still, and today’s schedule has enough action to make even a curling championship seem chill.

Let’s get this party started: first up, Berlin is still shimmering with the Festival of Lights. Picture world-famous landmarks beaming with jaw-dropping 3D projections and immersive DJ sets inside the majestic Berlin Cathedral—a real bonanza for fans of art and ‘wait, did my camera just run out of storage again?’ If you haven’t been, grab your selfie stick and hustle over. You’ll thank me.

Feeling peckish? The Berlin Food Week is on, spicing up the city with culinary showcases from top chefs and home-cook heroes. You can nibble, sample, and trade wild food stories that’ll make your taste buds do a FIFA goal celebration. Whether you’re into sauerkraut sorbet or vegan döner, there’s a flavor fest for every palate.

For culture buffs, Berlin’s Museumsinsel is throwing not just confetti but history itself with its 200-year anniversary bash. This UNESCO World Heritage site is serving up live music and exclusive tours—think ‘Night at the Museum’ but with Prussian flair and more head-scratching ancient artifacts than a Quidditch lost-and-found.

If you want your Sunday with a groove, bounce over to Maaya Berlin for Two Berlins, One Groove: Afro Diasporic Club Culture Then & Now. It’s a community-powered night with gallery shows, panel talks featuring local legends, and an afterparty pumping everything from funk and reggae to scorching new global beats. Even if you can’t dance, borrow someone’s rhythm and just blend in. That’s the Berlin style.

Calling all families and fans of “whoa, did that really just happen?” The World of Motorshow rolls into town today with stunt drivers and monster trucks. If chaotic horsepower, roaring engines, and Guinness record-chasing maniacs aren't your jam, you might as well be napping on the U-Bahn.

Meanwhile, for your nightlife fix, the legendary WEEKEND Rooftop Club is cranking up the beats with house and techno from 5 p.m. till sunrise. The only thing hotter than the dance floor? The panoramic cityscape to gawk at between DJ sets.

Here’s what’s new on the local update front: Berlin’s restaurant scene just hit turbo with several new international bistros opening in Kreuzberg and Neukölln—expect unexpected fusion menus. Public transit is smooth today, though word on the street is to keep an eye out for tram construction around Alexanderplatz; pack a little patience or channel your inner marathon runner.

Thinking about must-do activities? Climb the roof terrace of the Humboldt Forum for heart-stopping views of art-meets-architecture and Berlin’s best skyline. Art fans, check out the CHAUSSEE 36 photography workshop or ATM Gallery Berlin’s “More Or Less” exhibition opening tonight. For a quirky twist, stroll over to Artminius21 Market in Moabit to snap up handmade treasures (yodeling not required, but always appreciated around here).

Oly’s local tip: Berliners love their Späti—those late-night mini-marts packed with all kinds of snacks and cold drinks. Don’t be shy, pop in, grab a Club-Mate, and chat with the locals. Some of Berlin’s wildest stories start and end at a Späti—true fact! And here’s a mind-bending tidbit: Did you know Berlin’s Great 10K run attracts thousands and is known as Germany’s fastest urban sprint? If you spot dashing athletes today, give them an Oly-style high five. Air high fives work, too.

Before I jet off, don’t miss tomorrow’s circus drag show “Timetravel” or the art-jazz autumn blend coming up soon. Trust me, Berlin’s never out of surprises.
