The Fairy Tale Hut in Monbijoupark is Berlin's secret winter highlight: In two rustic, original Galician wooden huts, alternating fairy tale performances are staged for children and adults*. During the day, children immerse themselves in a world of stories; in the evening, it becomes cheeky, modern, and crackling – with classic fairy tales, a campfire, mulled wine, and small dishes directly on the Spree.

Especially during the colder months, the demand for sweets increases - the Berliner Kaffeerösterei sweetens gloomy Berlin weather with exquisite tastings. Whether it's an espresso machine course, milk foam cappuccino training, or coffee cupping with the master roaster: the aroma of roasted beans and the homemade cakes warm the senses in the cold.
