24 hours in Berlin for Art Week
This cosmopolitan city is not like the others. Berlin is an alternative, non-conformist, brilliant hub for art. From its avant-garde music scene and architecture to its underground fashion culture and innovative gastronomy, Berlin is constantly transforming.
The city’s artistic spirit shines brightest during Berlin Art Week. Dive into our ideal 24 hours in Berlin. Take it or leave it, but we think it's the perfect guide for in between shows and exhibitions.
Hotel Telegraphenamt
Get sleepy in one of the Telegraphenamt’s sophisticated suites. Its ideal location in the heart of the city will enable a serene walk to the galleries in the morning and a peaceful stroll back at night before heading to their classy cocktail bar for one last drink.
Factory Girl
Make your way to Factory Girl for an early breakfast or a long, chatty brunch. Go crazy with their varied menu of healthy dishes and sweet treats.
Companion Coffee
When in need of caffeine, go to Companion, Berlin’s most welcoming spot for coffee and tea. If you don't have time to settle in to enjoy the cosy ambiance, grab a cup of coffee and a loaf of raspberry pistachio cake to-go.
Remi
Arrive at Remi for lunch and admire their modern industrial aesthetic. Treat yourself to a glass of wine before heading back out for another exhibition.
The Store X
If you want to fit in with (or stand out amongst) the chic gallerinas that have descended upon the city, visit Store X. Pick up a new pleated jacket, a pair of eclectic pumps and an enviable ear cuff.
Neue Nationalgalerie
As an art enthusiast, you will probably be visiting hundreds of galleries during Art Week, but you cannot miss the iconic Neue Nationalgalerie. It's an emblematic building and institution within Berlin’s contemporary art scene.
Badeschiff
If you need a little movement between schmooze-ment, make your way to the great River Spree for a turn in the amazing outdoor pool, Badeschiff.
Bar Milano
Did someone say Negroni? Bar Milano serves authentic Italian cocktails and tasty small bites. It turns out the Italians don't own aperitivi; why not do 'em in Berlin?
Marktlokal
Last but not least, Marktlokal should be your dinner go-to. Visit the gurus of fine dining for a dinner date after an exhibition or a long day of exploring art installations.
Lia Mongrut
Spin a globe; stop it at random. In all likelihood, wherever your finger’s landed, Lía’s probably lived there—or been there on holiday at the very least. A Literature and Society graduate from the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam and more importantly, an Editorial Assistant here at gloobles, she never stops exploring. When she’s ready to hit the road, food tends to lead. Lía’s list of must-visit restaurants is seemingly endless, as is the list of top spots she’s been to. From Marrakesh to Medellín, we’d follow her anywhere.
