Some cool bars to check out are:
- Sound garden (cool bar, not to polished, rock music)
- Brecht (cozy vibes, chaotic living room, amazing German beer)
- Engelse reet (good beer, traditional)

Hey there, here are some cool things to do in berlin that are not too touristy :)
Activities
~ Herzberg Golf (really pretty minigolf place in Neukölln, if you go in the evening the lights are amazing)
~ Prachtwerk Neukölln (small venue where local artists perform)
~ Berlinische Galerie (museum for modern art in a nice neighborhood)
~ Tempelhofer Feld (used to be an airport, now its just a giant field where you can skate, picknick or just walk around - i think you can rent skates or bikes there, not sure tho)
~ Humboldt Forum (art museum in an old castle, very impressive structure and they have changing exhibitions - this one is not very unknown but worth a visit)
Food
~ La Maison (french bakery in Kreuzberg, a little hipstery but they have amazing pastries!)
~ La Bolognina (handmade pasta, very delicious :))
~ La femme (turkish cuisine, they have multiple restaurants in berlin - the food is heavenly, especially the pide)
~ Sahara Imbiss (for a quick snack, sahara has amazing falafel/halloumi etc. for 4-5€)
Bars
~ Villa Neukölln (cocktails and sometimes livemusic, can get pretty crowded tho so come early)
~ Zum starken August (amazing interior, they have good cocktails and sometimes burlesque performances)
I think thats it for now, hope you have a nice time in berlin :)

Obviously climb the Dom tower and maybe see if the weather allows for a waterbike (or canoe) ride over the canals! Maybe visit Dick Bruna house (Miffy Museum!) (Ive got other museum recs as well if you want them).
For bookstores go to the one at Janskerkhof (I think its called Bijleveld) or the feminist bookstore Savannah Bay.
If you like churches obviously you should have a look at some of the bigger ones but I also like the St Willibrordkerk.
If you wanna grab drinks /in/ a church you can go to Café Oliver (which used to be a clandestine church).
If you wanna grab pizza, Im a big fan of O'Panuozzo Napoli.
If you wanna grab a sandwich to go (and eat meat) 'Broodje Mario' from Broodje Mario is thé local sandwich (it's just an Italian style sandwich but so tasty and one of the things I miss about being vegetarian) - they only accept cash Im pretty sure.
If the weather is bad and you wanna watch a film, Id recommend going to Slachtstraat, Springhaver or Louis Hartlooper Complex.
Just let me know what kinda things u r into & what neighbourhood you are staying at and I can see if I can think of stuff to do :)

went to a few smaller shows at loppen in christiania, probably my favorite venue i got to see. they host a good variety of people and genres but i was really happy to catch a lot of great local artists!!
also check out alice (@alice_nbro on ig), more amazing variety and they’ve done shows with some of my favorite musicians ever. there are other good venues but those are the two i’d recommend most. i’m always saying some of the best music right now is coming out of denmark and i stand by that!
also, i went to study urban planning and saw a lot of crazy funky architecture i’d recommend checking out if you’re interested. copenhill is nuts and worth going to just to walk up/look at it. also østergro, i didn’t eat there but did get a little tour, really awesome rooftop farm! making my sister go back with me to all of these stops this summer lol cannot wait

There are so many vintage stores in amsterdam. Just walk around and you will find plenty on your own.
the IJ hallen is a cool vintage market to check out if it’s happening while you are in town. Other iconic markets for vintage are on the Waterlooplein and the monday market on the Noordermarkt.
Around Waterlooplein you will also find lots of vintage stores. You will also find a lot of vintage stores on the Haarlemmerdijk and around the Albert Cuypstraat.
