Welcome to 'Things to do in Berlin' on this vibrant Friday, March 7, 2025 As you step out into the city, you're greeted by a crisp spring morning, with the sun peeking through the clouds and a gentle breeze carrying the scent of blooming flowers. The air is fresh, and the city is buzzing with energy, especially as Berlin prepares to celebrate International Women’s Day this weekend.
Today, the city is abuzz with a variety of events that cater to all interests. If you're looking for something culturally enriching, the Decolonial City Tour: Black and Queer Feminism in Berlin is a must-attend. This guided tour, happening on Sunday but worth planning for, takes you through the Schöneberg district to explore Germany’s global connections with the African and American continents from the perspective of important women[1].
For those who love music and community, the Countercult Späti Rave is the place to be. This block party in Kreuzberg features great music by FLINTA* DJs, a street style competition, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for networking without the stiffness. Don't forget to bring some treats for the "Späti rat"[1].
If you're in the mood for something more active, join the FLINTA* Skate and Destroy the Patriarchy event. This friendly morning skate session at Skalitzer Str. 114 in Kreuzberg is open to skaters of all levels and includes a communal picnic before the day's protests[1].
In terms of local news, Berlin is currently grappling with significant budget cuts in the social and education sectors, which has led to widespread protests. The Education and Science Union (GEW) has announced massive resistance to these cuts, highlighting the impact on various projects in prevention and education[2].
For new experiences, consider visiting the Room of Silence at the Brandenburg Gate, a hidden gem that offers a few minutes of complete silence amidst the bustling city. Or, take a walk between Dämeritzsee and Müggelsee, exploring the canals and bridges of Neu-Venedig, a lesser-known but picturesque part of Berlin[3].
Here’s a local tip: When navigating Berlin, remember that the city is highly bike-friendly. Joining the Purple Ride, a queer and FLINTA* only bike protest, is not only a great way to raise awareness but also to experience the city from a different perspective[1].
As the day winds down, head over to the Prince Peach in Prenzlauer Berg for the FLINTA Nights Art Collective: Love & Friendship event. This cozy evening filled with stories, drinks, and new friends is the perfect way to unwind and connect with the community[1].
Looking ahead to tomorrow, Berlin will be filled with even more vibrant events for International Women’s Day. From the Frauen*kampftag 2025 march to various anti-capitalist feminist demonstrations, there's something for everyone. Make sure to tune in tomorrow for more updates and insider tips on how to make the most of your time in this incredible city.
Until then, enjoy the diverse and dynamic spirit of Berlin
