A Sunday in Berlin never has to be grey and dreary, because the city has an adventure ready for every taste. At the Deutsches Spionagemuseum in Mitte, you slip into the role of an agent for a few hours, while the Deutschlandmuseum nearby brings contemporary history to life. Anyone seeking wonder can experience a variety matinee at the Chamaeleon or dive into an immersive dream world at DALI SURREAL in Neukoelln. And when the sun is shining, the balls roll across the boule court by the Landwehrkanal in Kreuzberg. Between museum, stage and canal bank, it becomes clear that the last day of the week can be the most beautiful. How would you give your next Sunday in Berlin a new spark?

I think a Sunday in Berlin is far too precious to spend on the sofa. For this list, I squeezed through secret corridors at the Spy Museum and let the balls roll at boule by the Landwehrkanal. What stayed with me most strongly was DALI SURREAL in Neukoelln, where I seemed to dive right into the middle of a painting. I will show you how a dull Sunday turns into a little celebration.
At the German Spy Museum, you delve into the world of espionage and intelligence services. Here you'll find Hitler's Enigma cipher machine, a Stasi-Trabi with an infrared camera, rare spy cameras from the CIA and KGB, and original props from James Bond films.

Its repertoire features pieces that truly have something to say.
A guided bicycle tour that leads from the Nikolaiviertel in Mitte through Tiergarten to Kreuzberg, revealing places that even long-time Berliners will find surprising. Away from the tourist crowds, approximately 18 kilometers, three hours, and countless hidden city stories.
In the historic Art Nouveau ballroom of the Hackesche Höfe in Mitte, the Chamäleon shows what contemporary circus truly can do: acrobatics, dance, and stage art merge into poetic shows unknown to classical vaudeville. For Sunday dates, the same lower prices apply as during the week.

In Karlshorst, one of the greenest corners of Lichtenberg, stands one of Berlin's most historic sports venues since 1894: the harness racing track.
