To mark Ace & Tate’s ‘Bring on the Sun’ campaign, we’ve partnered up with the brand and collaborated with collectives across Europe to bring you their recommendations for the best ‘sun spots’ in their home city. This series celebrates the transformative nature of summer and each city guide will shine a light on must-visit locations for enjoying the sunshine, local style.

Summer in Europe is always highly anticipated and nowhere more so than in Berlin, where the temperature regularly drops below freezing in the winter months. When the sun finally does turn up, the residents follow suit. You can feel the euphoric energy in the air as Berliners flock to the city’s parks, bars, and restaurants.

One such spot is Tiny’s Pizza, a restaurant born out of a community. The owner, known as Tiny Tim, started out by making pizza for his friends and organising pizza parties for fun until one day someone wanted to pay him for a slice. That’s when he realised he had a business on his hands and set up a restaurant. He’s stayed true to his original community-minded ethos though and the physical space is about more than just food.

“It’s not just a pizzeria but also a place to meet friends, meet new people, and also to experience new music.” Tim says he loves how the city and all its options open up in summer. “You can basically hang out at a lake all day and then go to a concert and then go out and then return to the same lake the next day, or another lake because there are so many of them.”

The employees share Tim’s open-minded spirit. Read their guide to find out where to head in Berlin for baked goods, paddle boats or to just hang out in the sunshine.
