The 10 best indoor activities
Classic Remise
A paradise for all classic car enthusiasts! But also for anyone looking for a relaxed activity and shelter in the rain. You'll find everything your heart desires in the lovingly restored roundhouse in Wersten. A unique world full of historic industrial architecture and modern flair awaits you. Here you can marvel at fantastic classics and even watch the mechanics at work. The best part? Free admission! So make your way here and let yourself be enchanted by the glass garage.
Vabali Spa
Are you dreaming of relaxation for body, soul and spirit? But your vacation days are already planned, the flights are more expensive than ever and you don't have time for a vacation anyway? Then Vabali is THE perfect place for you! There are 10 saunas, two steam baths and a laconium, two pools and numerous relaxation rooms right by the Elbsee lake. Of course, it's also a damn good place to relax in the sun with Balinese charm, but we find the Vabali totally cozy even in rainy weather and definitely worth a visit.
Sneaker
250 pairs of shoes - who can top that? 👟 Sneakers are more than just shoes: from a childhood wish to a status symbol to a fashion and political statement.✨ Since the 1980s, it has been impossible to imagine life without sneakers. The basketball and hip-hop scenes took them from the sports field to the street, into the mainstream and finally onto the catwalks of luxury labels.
The Code Agency
Fancy some thrills and tricky puzzles? In "Escape Room: The Code Agency" you can get your brain working and prove that you have what it takes to be a code breaker! Free yourself and your team from exciting challenges and experience action and secrets up close - but beware, the ticking clock is hot on your heels! Plus: The new AxeZone is also located in the location at Stresemannplatz! For all those who have always wanted to try out the American trend. We were there and loved it! You can see what it looks like on our Instagram channel.

Touching allowed! In this unique exhibition by British-German artist Tony Cragg, the sculptures are not only seen, but also felt. It is the first presentation in a museum that explicitly invites you to touch all the sculptures. So if you want to experience and understand art with all your senses: Off to the Kunstpalast!
