Things to Do in Berlin: Winter Magic, Skating Stunts, and Jazz Vibes on February 26

Welcome to Things to Do in Berlin, listeners! I'm Ollie Bennet, your globe-trotting, quirk-obsessed guide, and today we're diving into the city's electric winter buzz on this crisp Thursday, February 26, 2026. Berlin's vibe is pure magic—chilly winds whipping through the streets at around 5°C with flurries dancing like mischievous sprites, setting a cozy, adventurous tone perfect for indoor thrills and cultural highs.

Kick off your day with the XFood Tour through Berlin Mitte at 3:30 PM, a tasty ramble sampling street eats and hidden bites for foodies of all ages, according to Berlin.de. Families, don't miss Holiday on Ice: Cinema of Dreams at Tempodrom tonight at 7 PM—spectacular skating stunts and acrobatics that'll have kids and grown-ups cheering, as listed on Berlin.de. Jazz lovers, catch the Jako Quartett at the Old Fire Station from 7 PM, swinging smooth tunes in a historic spot via visitBerlin.de. For culture buffs, Kino International reopens today after a two-year glow-up—pop in for the open house to ogle the refurbished art-deco gem, reports The Berliner. And if you're nightlife-bound, SLV's HÖR set streams live from Berlin tonight, pumping electronic beats for that late-night energy rush.

Local buzz: No major transit hiccups, but snag U-Bahn tickets early for evening crowds. Fresh news—Kino International's grand return means classic films are back in glamorous style.

Must-dos today? Storm the immersive Bubble Planet exhibit for sensory bubble worlds (running through March), then hit Museum Island for the mechanical Weihnachtsberg nativity wonder or Stone Age treasures at the Museum of Prehistory. Hidden gem: Stroll Prenzlauer Berg for quirky street art hunts.

Local tip: Berliners swear by the Currywurst at Curry 36—ditch the fork, grab it to-go like a true local, and chase with a Berliner Pilsner for that authentic bite.

Tomorrow? Tame Impala rocks Uber Arena and André Rieu's waltzing orchestra—tune in for the scoop!
