If you are visiting Berlin with or without kids then I would strongly recommend adding a visit to Zoo Berlin to your list of things to do. You’ll find the Berlin Zoological Garden in Tiergarten and it’s easily accessible from the S-Bahn, U-Bahn and bus stops. Just look for the stop marked Zoologischer Garten in…
You may have guessed if you have followed my blog for a while that I’m a huge fan of the Chamäleon Theatre in Berlin. If you are pretty new around here, then you might be wondering why I’m sharing a review of their latest show, Memories fo Fools? I hope this post will enlighten you!…
CHAMÄLEON Theatre There is something incredibly special about walking into this Berlin theatre. The CHAMÄLEON is a unique venue to say that it plays host to some of the most talented circus performers from around the world. If you are expecting a large arena, you really need to think again as this theatre in Berlin is…
After a very early flight to Berlin, and more coffee than was probably sensible, I caught the bus from Berlin Schönefeld Airport to Alexanderplatz in search of the Hampton by Hilton Hotel, where I was due to be staying for the weekend. I was incredibly early for check in, but I wanted to drop off my bags…
If you follow the Zena’s Suitcase Instagram account, you’ll already know that I’ve had quite a few Berlin city breaks over the past 18 months. I’d like to think that this makes me an expert when it comes to things to do in Berlin during a weekend away. With a flight time of less than…
I have been lucky enough to visit Berlin 3 times now, and it’s all thanks to CHAMÄLEON Theater and their fantastic new circus performances and wonderful hospitality.

I have been lucky enough to visit Berlin twice this year, and it’s a city that’s starting to feel very familiar to me. If you are thinking about which city to visit in Europe I can definitely recommend Berlin for so many reasons. There’s lots of interesting historic and modern places of interest in Berlin…
I left my house at 3am to make the 2 hour car journey to London Stansted Airport to catch my flight to Berlin that weekend. The kids had both decided to visit me at 1am to rob me of the precious sleep I needed this particular night, so by the time I arrived in Berlin…
It was an absolute delight to be invited back to Chamäleon Theatre in Berlin so soon after seeing the previous show, Scotch & Soda back in March. When I received the email asking me if I would like to see the latest show, PARADE, I knew I couldn’t turn it down. I was so excited to…
Until recently Berlin hadn’t been a city I’d really thought about visiting. I was lucky enough to be invited to the city by the Chamäleon Theatre, who were keen to showcase what Berlin had to offer as well as their latest show, Scotch and Soda. My whirlwind tour of city definitely changed my opinion of Berlin as…
I was very excited about arriving in Berlin. Not only were the next 24 hours going to be a lot of fun, but the hotel also looked like it was going to be pretty amazing too. I was going to be staying at the 25Hours Hotel Bikini Berlin, and it already looked like…
The alarm was set, but the clocks were due to go back in the early hours. I foolishly put my faith in my smart phone to update to the new time automatically, and wake me with enough time to get ready before leaving for the airport. The alarm went and low and behold, I was…
