Every summer, from June to August, Berlin’s Kulturforum transforms into the Sommerkino – an open-air cinema experience under the stars. Imagine rows of (more or less) comfy deck chairs set up in front of a massive screen, with the city’s skyline unfolding just behind it. This year, the view includes a towering construction crane – a fitting symbol, really. After all, Berlin is always building, always becoming. As they say, it’s “a city condemned never to be, but always to become.”

The nights are mild, the films reliably worth the ticket, and often in English – because, well, again: This is Berlin. You can grab a wildly overpriced drink at the concession stand… or just bring your own bottle, yet in secret! You’ll know the movie’s starting because the sound of popping corks.

And for the bottle, this is the best wine shop of Berlin: Weinwinkel
