In August in Berlin, the whole city vibrates - summer feelings on the banks of the Spree, in the beer garden, at open-air concerts or in the park. Sure, you can spend the summer months backpacking, but a vacation in your own city is underrated.
Let's be honest: why fly out during Berlin's most beautiful season instead of rewarding yourself after the harsh winter with what you live in the first place in the capital for? The nights are at least as long as the queues outside the clubs, days flow into each other as you dance into the dawn.

Here's what you need to have on your radar this month.
