Berlin In Your Pocket city guide

Berlin is having a wonderful sunny summer so far – so it's great that you're in town to enjoy the second half of our hot season together with us. Winning the World Cup in Brazil was of course the highlight of the year for many locals, but there's still plenty to look forward to before the cold winds of autumn return.

As the classical music season starts up again, check out the special concert by the East-West Divan Orchestra, or the intriguing series of concerts by the Deutsche Oper Berlin at the new airport, inside their parking garage or in their carpentry shop; see our Berlin events listings for more.

Indoor entertainment can also be found at Berlin's museums and galleries – you'll need to be quick to see the famous Pergamon Museum as it will be partially closed for renovations over the next few years. The Neue Nationalgalerie, with an excellent Ottoe Piene exhibition, will also undergo renovations over the next few years, and the wonderful David Bowie exhibition at the Martin-Gropius-Bau is also coming to an end soon too, so visit before it's too late.

Whatever you do this summer, don't hesitate to email us your comments and suggestions at berlin@inyourpocket.com. Enjoy Berlin.
