Pack your umbrella and off you go.
Royal movie enjoyment in the Astor Film Lounge Berlin
Rain or no rain. Cinema is always fun. Especially this very special cinema. The Astor Film Lounge in West Berlin can be described in a nutshell as a pearl of history. Legendary film premieres have been held here since the early 1950s. It is precisely this flair that the cinema has retained. The importance of the theater is reflected not only in the interior, but also in the program. You won't find any Hollywood blockbusters here in which superheroes fight each other in front of a green screen. Actors such as Marilyn Monroe, Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn are all on the screen. In its selection of films, cinema focuses on one thing above all: culture and aesthetics. Super cute for a glorious, rainy fall evening.
Where: Kurfürstendamm 225 10719 Berlin
How much: 11,50 € - 18 €

Sometimes you just have to win:Pool & Cigarsis the place to be when you feel like playing pool in Berlin. Here you will be welcomed into a former warehouse on the site of the former Schultheiss brewery. There are fifteen tournament tables and a large bar at your disposal. One hour of play costs €12. Reservations are recommended. By the way, don't worry about the name - cigars and cigarettes can only be consumed in a specially equipped smoking lounge. So, get your head on straight and off you go to Prenzlauer Berg.

GalleryC/O Berlin
One of our favorite locations in Berlin when it comes to photography: a temple of contemporary art and often one step ahead. The non-profit institution has been presenting photography and design since 2006. As an exhibition venue, C/O Berlin not only shows works by renowned artists but also promotes young talent. The best thing: on cold fall days, you can also enjoy a delicious coffee in the Barkin' Kitchen downstairs in the exhibition building. If you also need a gift: the finest illustrated books are of course waiting to be bought in the store. Good, better, C/O Berlin.
Where: Amerika-Haus, Hardenbergstraße 22-24, 10623 Berlin
How much: 10 €
Enjoy a coffee at "She said" and browse through a new book
"She said" is a bookshop with an adjoining café. Opened in 2020, the bookshop focuses on female and queer authors. So you can only find their books on site. What could be better than reading a good book in a good atmosphere? So you can leave the rain behind and immerse yourself in a whole new world. My recommendation to you: be sure to try the homemade cinnamon buns. Life tastes sweet.
Where: Kottbusser Damm 79, 10967 Berlin
