It’s relatively small by Berlin standards, but people like to grab a cold drink and sit on the hillside overlooking the pond.
It has a outdoor café along the river, across from the Bode Museum, that has a ballroom dancing floor. Great for people watching.
A former train yard turned into a park, which is mostly left wild. Great for walking or running.
HUGE park with Brandenburg Gate, the Jewish Memorial, and the Reichstag at the East end, and on Sundays, there is a huge flea market at the West end.
On Sundays, this place is dirty, crowded and absolutely unmissable. A crowd gathers at the amphitheatre for the outdoor karaoke, and there is a massive flea market too.
This is quite a small park, which on Sundays is overtaken with a flea market (my favourite one) and tons of kids in the playground.
Really big, really nice park with lots of hidden spots, including a restaurant / beer garden, and the “Märchenbrunnen” –– Fountain of Fairy Tales –– which is a popular spot for kids to play in on hot days.
- Berlin Wall Memorial (just north of where you are staying)
- Brandenburg Gate // Jewish Memorial (they are beside each other)
- If you like architecture, walk along the Spree River from the Reichtag to Haus der Kulturen der Welt
