By late January, Berlin is deep in winter. Expect cold and crisp evenings, with temperatures around –1 to 4°C. Snow flurries or light rain are common, so it’s smart to wear a warm coat and non-slip shoes. Inside the Velodrom, however, it’s comfortably heated – perfect for an exciting evening of sport.
Before heading out, check the Berlin hourly weather for updates on temperature, wind, or snow forecasts to plan your travel safely.
Weather tip: The Velodrom’s glass dome can get chilly near entrances – bring a scarf or light jacket even inside.
The Velodrom Berlin is located in Prenzlauer Berg (Paul-Heyse-Straße 26), easily reachable by public transport.
Parking is limited, so public transport is recommended, especially during peak hours.
The Velodrom transforms into a vibrant arena with a glowing track, laser lights, and music. The show combines elite cycling with entertainment: between races, there are light shows, interviews, and DJ sets that keep the energy high.
Each race tests speed, strategy, and endurance. Teams of two riders take turns racing while one rests – creating a dynamic flow that keeps spectators on the edge of their seats. Add in crowd cheers and a pumping soundtrack, and you’ve got one of Berlin’s most exciting indoor experiences.
Berliners dress smart casual for this event – it’s sporty yet social.
