Welcome to Things to Do in Berlin, listeners! I'm your host, and let me tell you, today is absolutely crackling with energy in this magnificent city. It's February 13th, 2026, and Berlin is serving up a delicious mix of creativity, culture, and just the right amount of quirky vibes that makes this city absolutely legendary.Let's talk weather first because, honestly, it matters when you're planning your day. Right now, Berlin is experiencing patchy rain with temperatures hovering around 11 to 12 degrees Celsius, so grab your jacket and maybe an umbrella because that West-Southwest wind is definitely making its presence felt. But don't let a little drizzle stop you because the city is absolutely buzzing today!First up on our must-do list is the Valentine Pin Alley Pop Up happening right now at Pop Up Club on Kantstraße. This is the kind of bizarre, beautiful event that makes Berlin absolutely magical. Local pin artists from across the city have gathered to showcase exclusive Valentine-themed designs and cute merchandise. You can meet the actual creators behind these tiny works of art, and here's the kicker—entry is completely free. The event runs from noon until 6 PM today and tomorrow, so whether you're a collector or just someone who loves supporting local artists, this is pure gold.Meanwhile, just a few blocks away, the 76th Berlinale Film Festival is absolutely dominating the cultural landscape. The festival kicked off yesterday and runs through February 22nd, with today featuring a Berlinale Film Talk about the German New Wave happening at 11 AM at Berlinale HUB. We're talking star-studded glamour with appearances from folks like Pamela Anderson and Ethan Hawke. If cinema is your thing, this is the festival to catch.Here's my local tip for navigating Berlin like a seasoned veteran: the city's creative energy doesn't just happen in fancy venues. Some of the best discoveries happen when you wander through neighborhoods like Kreuzberg or Friedrichshain where street art tells stories, independent cafes serve excellent coffee, and you'll stumble upon pop-ups like today's pin event by pure chance. That's the Berlin magic right there.For tonight's vibes, after you've soaked up the Valentine Pin Alley energy, grab some authentic currywurst from a street vendor—it's quintessentially Berlin—and settle in for some people-watching at one of the many beer gardens. The Berlinale parties are happening across the city if you're feeling the festival energy too.Tomorrow, listeners, we're looking at even more festive happenings with the Pin Alley continuing and the Berlinale firing on all cylinders, so make sure you tune in to find out what spectacular events are unfolding next.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.

Welcome listeners to Things to Do in Berlin with your globe-trotting sports nut Oly Bennet, coming to you this Sunday, January 11, 2026, from a city that’s chilly, crisp, and perfect for power-walking between adventures. Winter skies, hot coffee, and big scarves: that’s today’s Berlin vibe in a nutshell.Let’s kick off with some headline events to fuel your day. Over at Theater am Potsdamer Platz, Cirque du Soleil’s show “Alizé” is on this afternoon, serving up acrobatics, magic, and a journey “into the invisible,” according to Berlin’s official event portal Berlin.de. If you want your Sunday to feel like stepping into another dimension, that’s your ticket. Art fans, the Akademie der Künste on Hanseatenweg is hosting the exhibition “Every Artist Must Take Sides” today, with timed entries in the afternoon, as listed on Berlin.de. It’s a powerful deep dive into art, politics, and responsibility—perfect if you like your culture with a side of reflection.For a family-friendly view with bragging rights, the Humboldt Forum is offering visits to its roof terrace today, giving you a panorama over Museum Island and the TV Tower, also confirmed by Berlin.de. While you’re there, Museumsportal Berlin notes that the Humboldt Forum is running guided tours and family activities under the BERLIN GLOBAL program, so you can mix epic views with hands-on culture.If you’re craving words instead of heights, Berlin.de also lists literary and performance events like poetry and storytelling sessions around town, and for quiz lovers, Meetup is hosting an English–German pub quiz called “Let’s Get Quizical” this evening at Electric Social near Alexanderplatz—great if you want to meet locals and expats while flexing your random-fact muscles.On the city info front, Berlin’s museums are still a hot tip: the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin highlight that free admission has been extended through today for people affected by the recent power blackout, so if that’s you, this is the perfect excuse to duck into world-class collections and thaw out among the masterpieces. Public transport is running on the usual Sunday rhythm, so expect slightly longer waits but easy connections; give yourself a few extra minutes between U-Bahn and tram hops.Now, Oly’s must-do playbook for today. First, grab a late breakfast in Kreuzberg or Neukölln—hit a café near the Landwehrkanal, then wander the canal path like you’re warming up for a marathon of museums. Next, swing by Museum Island and the Humboldt Forum: do the roof terrace, then a quick BERLIN GLOBAL tour to see how Berlin connects to the wider world. Later, choose your flavor: Cirque du Soleil for spectacle, the Akademie der Künste for serious art brain-food, or that pub quiz for social, slightly chaotic fun. Night owls can head to Friedrichshain or around Warschauer Straße, where bars and clubs will happily turn your “quiet Sunday” into a full extra-time thriller.Local tip: Berliners don’t sprint for the crosswalk like it’s the 100-meter final—jaywalking is seriously frowned upon. Wait for the little green Ampelmann, and you’ll blend in way better than any fancy outfit ever could.Tomorrow, keep an eye out for more winter-friendly gems: new exhibitions rolling on, cozy cinema programs, and weeknight concerts warming up the city after work. Tune in for tomorrow’s episode and I’ll scout the best picks so your Berlin week stays legendary.Thanks for listening, please subscribe, and remember—this episode was brought to you by Quiet Please podcast networks.
