5 Things you can do in Berlin during summer

- 
Berlin, what a nice place to be during summer. The weather is (usually) very nice, there's always something to do and finally your friends are not in hibernation mode anymore and want to go out of their caves. The sunlight shines over the green grass in the parks, which start to be so crowded as if they were a football stadium. But what can you do to enjoy this season even more? Here are some tips for those of you who want get the best out of the summer time! 
1. Ride your bike. With the warmer temperatures and the sun shining over your head, riding a bike is very enjoyable during summer. But don't rush! Try to take some time to enjoy the landscape while riding, take different routes and, if you have the time, make short stops to relax and enjoy the glorious summer vibes.
2. Drink your coffee outside. Yes, we all know that the cafés in Berlin are pretty good looking, but why seat inside? I mean, in winter you will have to anyway, so go out and enjoy the breeze!
  
3. Sail the Spree.  By now you're probably used to stare at the river from the shore, but what about watching the city from the Spree instead? There are a lot of places where you can take boat tours or even rent a boat yourself and be your own captain! And if you're feeling brave, you could also take a swim (it is forbidden though)
4. Go to public pools. The huge swimming pools in Berlin can help you freshen up when you're feeling like boiling in a hot pot! So why not take a swim in the public pools? If you don't enjoy crowded places though, maybe you should keep clear of swimming pools in Berlin.

 



5. Go out in the nature. If you see Berlin from above, you will really realize how many green areas there are. If you enjoy open spaces and want to feel closer to nature, there are many options you can choose from, without leaving the city. Plänterwald, Gärten der Welt, Grunewald, Hasenheide, Volkspark Friedrichshain, Viktoriapark are just few examples. You could even try to visit a different one every week. Trust me, you won't ever get bored!


6.Take a swim in the lakes. Berlin is not just surrounded by trees and small forests, it's also full of lakes. Some of them even have beautiful sand shores, which make them the perfect spot to relax the hassle  of a long trip.
7.Outdoor sport. A game of basketball, football, table tennis, even skateboarding or whatever you might enjoy, is always a good idea.
 
So that's what I personally do with my summers. Are there any other
things you like to do during summer? Feel free to tell us about it in the comments section!

Let us introduce ourselves. Sprachenatelier is a language school based in the trendy Eastern district of Friedrichshain, next to central Berlin. The school is based in a listed 20 th century building which is located on Frankfurter Allee, one of Berlin's oldest roads. We founded Sprachenatelier Berlin in 2003 as both a school and a studio; an institute where language learning is enhanced by a creative and immersive atmosphere and intercultural exchange. The studio space still features the original interior design and is the setting for regular cultural events such as art exhibitions, book readings and concerts. Thirteen years later and we are still dedicated to this approach. Offering lessons for all different levels, our German courses make up the core of our language program. Depending on your knowledge of the language, there is something for everyone, from complete beginners to „German for Doctors“. As well as our wide selection of German courses, we also offer

Frankfurter Allee 40 - History of the Sprachenatelier building

-
Image
Sprachenatelier has been situated in the beautiful building on Frankfurter Allee for 13 years now, but the building has been around for over 100. Designed by architect Hans Liepe, the building was built between 1906-1907 by Oscar Garbe . In 1907, more buildings of a similar style popped up along Frankfurter Allee, which was a main transport link and a prestigious shopping street. It is, in fact, one of the oldest streets in Berlin. The building is a plastered build covering five floors, with balconies situated on the front side. There are two exits which lead to the two stair towers at the back. The most obvious thing about the building is the roof (which was sadly damaged in the recent fire: see the last blog post for details). The roof is what is known as a “hipped“ roof meaning that all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. At the back there is a square courtyard between this building and another five-story building behind it. Right
