GERMANY: While Berlin’s nightlife and culture often steal the spotlight, the city’s true essence often shines through in its lush, green park. From urban playgrounds to romantic woodlands and hidden garden havens, Berlin’s parkland gems have something for everyone. Check out these five unique spots where you can laze about in the open air...

Tempelhofer Feld: Berlin's Endless Playground

Tempelhofer Feld is so massive, you might think it never ends! Once a airport runway, it’s now a sprawling playground for cyclists, joggers and kite flyers alike. Cruise the old airstrip at your own pace, have a picnic with friends, or just soak up the sun. You can even discover community plots where locals grow their own veggies. Whether you’re a hipster with a grill, a family with a stroller, or a couple seeking romance, this park has a spot for everyone under the expansive Berlin sky.

Tiergarten: Berlin’s Wild Urban Forest

Tiergarten is Berlin’s green heart - a sprawling city park that feels like a magical forest. Once a hunting ground for princes, it’s now a serene escape for city dwellers. Wander winding paths, pass by tranquil ponds or soak it all in from one of the many benches. Don’t miss the Siegessäule, towering above the treetops to offer a stunning city view of neighbourhoods among the park’s lush greenery.

Gleisdreieck Park: Urban Adventure Playground

Gleisdreieck Park is the ultimate example of how something old can become something completely new. Built on former railway tracks between Kreuzberg and Schöneberg, this modern park delights people of all ages. Here, you’ll find skaters perfecting their tricks on the halfpipe and parkour enthusiasts turning the urban structures into their own playground. The spacious lawns invite you to have a picnic, while the playgrounds are a favorite spot for kids. If you prefer a quieter experience, take a leisurely walk along the old railway tracks and enjoy the perfect mix of urban architecture and nature.

Prinzessinnengarten: Colourful Garden Paradise

Nestled in Kreuzberg on a former brewery site, Prinzessinnengarten is a garden project that brings Berlin’s green dreams to life. Here, city dwellers can cultivate their own plots, growing vegetables, herbs, and flowers. The garden is not just a place to relax but also a hub for sustainable agriculture, right in the heart of the city. With workshops, markets, and community events, Prinzessinnengarten is a lively spot for anyone interested in gardening and eco-friendly farming. Even if you just want to sip coffee at the garden café and soak up the vibrant atmosphere, everyone is welcome!

Plänterwald: Enchanting Forest Getaway

On the edge of Berlin, along the Spree, lies Plänterwald—a slice of untouched nature and a true hidden gem for adventure seekers. This dense forest is crisscrossed with hidden paths that invite exploration. Here, you can hear the echo of your own footsteps as you dive deep into nature. The real highlight of Plänterwald is the old Spreepark, a deserted amusement park that now feels like a ghostly woodland. Amid the trees, glimpses of forgotten rides appear as if from another era—slightly eerie but incredibly fascinating.
