Summer<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>has\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>arrived\u00a0in<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Berlin and brought\u00a0plenty of\u00a0sunshine<\/span>,\u00a0it would be just wrong not to use that beautiful weather and spen<\/span><\/span>d\u00a0your<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>time<\/span><\/span>\u00a0outside. You will definitely not be bored as a tourist in Berlin during COVID-19, there are still plenty of activities you can do, keep reading and find out!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The coronavirus in Berlin did not\u00a0change<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the positive attitude of the Berliners.\u00a0Compared to other major cities in Europe,<\/span>\u00a0Berliners are actually pretty lucky when it comes to government restrictions during coronavirus.\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span>hey are now allowed to spend time outdoors in\u00a0small groups of friends\u00a0(up to 5 households)<\/span>,\u00a0with keeping the safe<\/span>ty<\/span>\u00a0distance from each other of course.\u00a0Also hotels, shops, restaurants and museums started\u00a0re-opening.\u00a0T<\/span><\/span><\/span>he restaurants in Berlin have faced this situation with a great spirit of adaptation and creativity, promoting and offering takeaways and deliveries.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

H<\/span>ow do Berliners deal with COVID-19 and how<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0a t<\/span>ourist in Berlin during COVID-19\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>should a<\/span><\/span>dapt its travel\u00a0habits?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the hardest things for\u00a0many<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Berliners and\u00a0true<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>club fans must be that\u00a0the entire\u00a0<\/span>clubbing scene is closed at the moment. Good alternative for hanging with friends and dancing? You can always meet few of your friends in one of the many parks or lakes, have a picnic, put on\u00a0good music and watch the sunset (Berlin has pretty amazing sunsets during\u00a0summer and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>loooong<\/span><\/span>\u00a0days too),\u00a0but\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>remember\u00a0<\/span>to keep\u00a0save distance\u00a0to others<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

*If you are using a public transport, going\u00a0<\/span>shopping<\/span>, visiting museums,\u00a0<\/span>basically<\/span>\u00a0going anywhere indoor, put your mask on. Without\u00a0<\/span>your mask you will not be able to enter these places.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Berlin food scene is pretty amazing,\u00a0<\/span>it would be a shame not to treat yourself with some delicious food when visiting. Some restaurants are open and you can a<\/span>ctually eat in, but due to the coronavirus and safe distance, number of sitting places is\u00a0<\/span>restricted<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>always check their websites or\u00a0<\/span>social<\/span>\u00a0media channels<\/span>\u00a0to see how are they handling their service<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0during these times<\/span>, maybe you will need to book a table. Most of the restaurants, coffee places and bars are offering takeaways anyway<\/span>, grab\u00a0<\/span>food and find a free spot in a\u00a0<\/span>nearby<\/span>\u00a0park, it’s a pretty nice alternative to the seating in the restaurant considering the amazing weather in Berlin.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

REMINDER –\u00a0<\/span>Wherever you go or do you should\u00a0<\/span>have few things on your mind:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
