In Weißensee, where Pankow and Prenzlauer Berg meet, the Brotfabrik at Caligariplatz has existed for over 35 years as one of the last multi-genre venues of Berlin's independent scene.

Charlottenburg's oldest private theater right on Ku'damm: Since 1949, the Vagantenbühne has stood for socially critical spoken theater with a stance that remains close to people. With just 90 seats, a closeness between stage and audience is created that large venues rarely offer.

Since 2016, Raketos Improv Theatre in Prenzlauer Berg has stood for sophisticated improv theatre of the highest caliber. The Berlin ensemble performs long-form formats at BühnenRausch, bringing Shakespeare, dystopias, and horror into the spotlight. No script, no rehearsals, no two evenings are alike.

The special concert at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden on Valentine's Day combines one of Berlin's most important concert halls with rarely heard music. In the heart of Mitte, directly on the magnificent Unter den Linden boulevard, classical music here is not an obligation, but an evening you won't soon forget.

In the Kinder- und Jugendbibliothek Berlin (KiJuBi) (Children and Youth Library) on Kreuzberg's Blücherplatz there is anything you want to spend a nice afternoon reading: picture books, books for first readers and storybooks, novels for ages 6 - 21, fiction and non-fiction and lots of comic books.

The Berlin Crime Theatre in Friedrichshain is Berlin's only stage entirely dedicated to crime and thriller genres. Since 2000, it has been performing in the historic Umspannwerk Ost, where Agatha Christie appears alongside Sebastian Fitzek. Black humor and true theatrical art come together here.
