Time with your best friend deserves a good setting, and Berlin offers no end of them. Planned around a long catch up over coffee, a spa day or a night out, a best friend outing works best somewhere relaxed and full of character. This tag collects Berlin locations made for two.
Cafes in Neukoelln and Prenzlauer Berg invite hours of talk, while day spas and thermal baths offer pampering to share. Shopping streets, cocktail bars and galleries fill an afternoon, and the lakes and parks give a free, easy backdrop in summer. Many spots suit both a quiet reunion and a proper celebration.
Browse the venues below to plan a day with your best friend, from calm and cosy to lively and late.
The Resort Mark Brandenburg on Lake Ruppin in Neuruppin is directly connected to the Fontane Thermal Baths, whose brine comes from Brandenburg's only state-recognized healing spring. From the sun deck of the floating lake sauna, the largest in Germany, you can go directly into the water.
The Sunday Resort Schwielowsee is located in Petzow near Werder (Havel) directly on the lakeshore, with its own harbor and pile dwellings on the water. The 1,500 square meter spa includes an indoor pool, an outdoor pool with a pool bar, a bio sauna, and a Finnish sauna.
The café Eliza & Lieblingsstücke (favorite pieces) offers aromatic coffee and delicious pastries as well as a large variety of gift items.
Dancing has taken place at Chausseestraße 102 in Mitte since 1905, and Ballhaus Berlin is the last dance hall remaining there. The spiral staircase, disco ball, and old table telephones, which were once used to call neighboring tables, have been preserved. Here, especially if you're heartbroken, the main thing that helps is that you don't need to know how to dance or even come with company.
Nibs Cacao on Bleibtreustraße is a narrow shop behind Savignyplatz, exclusively dedicated to fine cocoa. It features products from manufacturers in Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Ecuador, with hot chocolate with churros and cocoa with chili considered specialties. It's particularly good for heartbreak because no one here asks why you've come.
The Berlin coffee roastery in Uhlandstraße actually stands for coffee house charm, good cakes, especially good chocolate and excellent coffee. In summer they offer very tasty frozen yoghurt.
Nouvelle Dessous, the business for premium lingerie, is centrally located at Grolmannstrasse in Berlin-Charlottenburg.
