Arts & Culture
Volkspark Weinberg
Weinbergsweg, between Rosenthaler
Platz and Fehbelliner Str. U-Bahn:
Rosenthaler Platz.
Don’t let fi nances get in the way of
fun! There are many activities in
Berlin that are free of charge. Not
least of these are the parks and
playgrounds scattered about the city.
For those who are mature enough to
admit they still enjoy a good tire
swing or jungle gym, then Volkspark
Weinberg will provide an enjoyable
cost-free evening. During the day
this park is dominated by parents
and their children, as nightfalls this
place is left empty for the bigger
cobalt hills amid a dune sea, blue
pyramids spurting water, and a
behemoth of a jungle gym, even the
most grown-up of people will feel the
urge to summon their inner child. The
shallow wading pool provides a nice
place to cool your feet, or your bum
for that matter after receiving slideburns
over on the play structures.
Even if you stop by in the daytime
and a younger crowd occupies the
games equipment, there are still
two cafes, the lily pond, and the
rose garden to enjoy. Merely sitting
on a bench listening to the church
bells of the nearby Zionskirche is a
relaxing experience. So if your wallet
is feeling the burn, don’t be afraid to
let the kid within you out!
Who Killed Bambi?

Eberswalder Straße 26, 10437. Tel:

Note: this clothes store has nothing
to do with Disney. Offering a
generous selection of alternative
attire for both men and women, Who
Killed Bambi is the place to go for
fun, rock/punk fashion. Housing a
range of street-wear labels from the
locally produced Made in Paradise

largest of three in Berlin. Browse the
racks of kitsch, beaded hangers for
that attention-grabbing purchase,
or lust after the unique Who Killed
Bambi bowling bags.
A little something extra ...
Photobooths
Shopping
Kastanienalle, Eberswalder Straße U2.
Ever wondered where the old fashioned photo booths which gave you
four different passport photos went? Well it seems they have been all
scattered around Berlin. Walking along Kanstanienalle or outside Warshaw
Strasse s-bhan station, you could easily pass them by. But keep your eye
keen - for only 2€ fun memories can be captured (and can also be used
to make your friends at home jealous!)
