One of the good things about not being a night-clubber is that you wake up early the next day, ready to go out and eat big chunks of yummy Berlin.
After a typical Berlin-brunch in one of the city’s many nice cafés (I think I wrote enough about food, and since there is a nice breakfast place on every other corner of the city, I will spare you further food recommendations), I highly recommend you find one of Berlin’s nice and cheap saunas, just to gear down and digest a little before shopping or sightseeing.
My favourite sauna is Olivin on Schönhauser Allee 177 (Berlin-Mitte), a calm and very often pleasantly empty wellness lounge, where you can alternate between the sauna, the ice-cold shower, the outdoor bamboo garden or the nice lounge where you can read magazines, quench your thirst or even indulge yourself with a nice and cheap massage (23 euro for 30 minutes).
The only thing to be aware of is that the Germans consider nudity as natural as a handshake, and despite the fact that I am a hippie child born in free-spirited Scandinavia, I recently got rather shocked when I found myself stark naked and alone in the sauna with eight naked Adams, where six of them were shaved down there where the apes hide their nuts (they stared, so looking back was my only weapon…that’s why I know they were bald). But if you are not afraid of German freikörperkultur (nudism) a trip to Olivin is a shot in the arm. And by the way: Thursdays are women only!
