Rhi's Guide to Berlin
Living between England and Germany for sometime, we had to get Rhi Dancey to give us the go-to places in her part-time home, Berlin. To say her Google Maps list was stacked wouldn’t do it justice, but we managed to get her down to the must-hit spots. Get your maps ready to pin these locations for the perfect city break.
FOR 11/10 NOSH
Knödelwirtschaft
South – Fuldastraße 33, 12045 Berlin
North – Stargarder Str. 3, 10437 Berlin
If you’re after a spot to experience some local cuisine, this is your place. The star of their menu is Knodel, a German/Austrian dumpling, which you can have with multiple different fillings. Plus there’s a location in both the North and South.
Opening Hours:
Mon – Fri: 5am to 11pmSat, Sun & Holidays: 12am to 11pm
TO DANCE ‘TIL DAWN:
Lunchbox Candy
We couldn’t do a guide to Berlin without getting Rhi to pick her favourite nightspot. If you’re after an “innovate, radical and sweet” clubbing experience, make sure to check out their nights.

COFFEE SPOT
Blumental
This restaurant slash cafe can tick off more than just a great place to grab coffee, however the reason for Rhi’s recommendation is down to their Purple Cloud drink which is “to die for”. Grab a coffee and some veggie nosh at this yellow-brick-road-esque spot.
Opening Hours:
Mon – Thurs: 9am to 10pm
Fri – Sat: 10am to 10pm
Sun: 10am to 6pm
FOR RETAIL THERAPY
Nowkoelln Fleamarket
Maybachufer 31, 12047 Berlin, Germany
Open every 2nd Sunday of the month, fortnightly from there out, this flea market is stocked up with second-hand goods; think art, music and trinkets galore! The perfect place to spend finding some never before seen goodies, Rhi’s found a treasure every time she’s been.
Opening Hours:
Sunday’s Bi-Weekly from 10am-5pm
TO UNWIND
Yorck Kino
Showing a combination of both current and past cinema, expect to never have a cinema viewing quite like this. As a lover of film this is Rhi’s favourite place to unwind, with 14 cinemas across the city. This independent chain has a vintage vibe throughout its locations, but each is still insanely different from the next. When the bustle of the outside world is getting a bit much, this’ll be the perfect place to chill.
