Dec 09-15: Film Festival, Exceptional Performance, Guided Tour, and more!
Things to do in Berlin - Week of December 09!
I was checking my Instagram and realized there are some accounts I follow for no specific reason! It just became a habit to have them in my feed. Otherwise, I’d never think to reach out to that one person I randomly met 5 years ago and exchanged Instagrams with. How many accounts do you follow for no reason, simply out of habit, swiping through their stories without unfollowing them?
Here's a sneak peek of what’s in store for you this week:

3. Monet’s Paris and the Impressionism - Tour
⭐ We did something similar with some of the newsletter subscribers, taking a museum tour focused on a painter. It was a very fulfilling activity that changes the way you look at paintings.
Three cityscapes by Monet serve as the entry point to explore mid-19th century Paris and its artistic influence. Monet’s paintings had a significant impact on his contemporaries, both in France and Germany. The tour of the special and permanent exhibitions offers fresh perspectives on this period and its connections to the broader art world. More info.
💵 €6 plus admission

4. Gong and Circumstance - Live Performance
⭐I’ve been to their previous performance, and this is one of the best things you can do in Berlin this year! It’s absolutely great!
The Resident Music Collective’s new concert program, inspired by Blown Away: The Palace of the Republic, explores the cultural and musical legacy of this iconic site. A 15-member ensemble performs in the Marstall building, once tied to the Palace’s administration. Spaces like the Great Hall and Milk Bar, remembered by some and reimagined for others, serve as symbolic venues for this transtraditional concert. More info.

Restaurant Review:
Ristorante Bocca Felice - Italian (⭐4/5)
I tried the pasta with salmon caviar in lobster sauce, and it was delicious—simple yet flavorful. For dessert, I had the pistachio tiramisu, which was equally satisfying. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. The total cost for one dish, a non-alcoholic drink, and half a dessert was €36, which I found reasonable. The restaurant has only been around for two years, but I highly recommend giving it a try!
