Your autumn day at Potsdamer Platz

When the days grow shorter, the air smells of autumn and you just want to slip into an oversized knitted jumper, the loveliest time of the year begins: Cosy Season. Around Potsdamer Platz, you’ll find just the right spots for a cosy autumn day. For warm hands, sweet breaks, new favourite books and that very special moment when the city suddenly looks a bit like Stars Hollow.

Enjoy a hot chocolate at 📍 BOHNEVILLE We’ll start, of course, with something warm in our hands. At BOHNEVILLE, you’ll find hot chocolate for chilly autumn days, cosy chats and that perfect first sip, whilst outside the leaves dance across the square. It’s best to drink it very slowly. After all, you don’t want this cosy moment to be over in three minutes.

Sniff vanilla, gingerbread and pumpkin spice scented candles at 📍 TK Maxx Then it’s off on a scent journey. At TK Maxx, you’ll find candles that instantly smell of autumn, freshly baked biscuits and a Sunday on the sofa. Vanilla for a gentle atmosphere, gingerbread for the anticipation of Christmas and pumpkin spice for that cosy, snuggly feeling. Just take a sniff of the scented candles and autumn already feels a little bit magical.

Pumpkin Spice doughnut at 📍 Brammibal’s FINALLY! It’s that time of year again – pumpkin spice in every possible form! How about this doughnut from Brammibal’s? After all, anyone can make a pumpkin spice latte. Fluffy on the outside, perhaps, spicy on the inside, and just sweet enough to officially count as an autumn ritual. Best to grab one before the last doughnut disappears.

Browse for ‘Cozy Reads’ or ‘Spicy Books’ at 📍 Hugendubel With chocolate and a doughnut in hand, it’s time for the most important question of the day: which book gets to come home with you? At Hugendubel, it’s wonderful to browse through cosy romances, autumnal feel-good stories and perhaps even a slightly spicy adventure. And then head home with at least one new book, a long ‘TO BE READ’ list and plenty of options for cosy evenings.

Enjoy the golden hour at 📍 Piano See To round things off, the most beautiful light of the day awaits. At Piano See, the golden hour makes for the perfect finale: warm colours, calm water and that brief moment when everything seems to slow down a little. So take another deep breath, savour the autumn and let the day draw to a close with the feeling that you’ve just found yourself right in the middle of a particularly lovely episode of a TV series.

Hot chocolate, scented candles, doughnuts, books and the golden hour. That’s all you need for a perfect cosy day at Potsdamer Platz.
