The 10 best cosy places to warm up in Berlin
When autumn and winter colour the city grey, you need places that not only warm your feet but also lift your mood. Berlin has quite a few of them to offer. At the Sultan Hamam in Schöneberg you can spend a relaxed day in the steam bath, entirely in the oriental style. If you prefer something more exotic, immerse yourself in warm, humid jungle air in the tropical house at the Botanical Garden in Dahlem. And the fireplace bar at the Hotel Oderberger in Prenzlauer Berg invites you to linger with creative cocktails and a crackling fire. Whether a salt grotto in Reinickendorf, hot yoga in Schöneberg or floating in Mitte, there is a remedy for the dark season. Which of these places pulls you out of the winter blues fastest?

The dark season gets to me anew every year, which is why I like to collect places that warm you from within. For this list, I looked not just at temperature but at that special feel-good atmosphere that makes you forget the rain outside. From the steam bath to the fireplace, everything that brightens the soul is here.
