The scene

When the weather warms up, Tempelhofer Feld and its surroundings host open-air gatherings, from music events to festivals, that make the most of all that space and sky. It’s a different flavor of Berlin nightlife - outdoors, communal and sun-soaked. Off-season, the neighborhood is quieter, but Kreuzberg’s floors are only a short ride north.
