Berlin is a very green city. Not only the outer districts, but also in the inner city area you can always find small and large, better known and lesser known parks and gardens that invite you to relax.
We love to stroll through the green corners of Berlin. Why not come along and discover green Berlin?
Berlin Parks and Gardens
Just over 10 hectares in size, Lietzenseepark in Charlottenburg is located very close to the exhibition grounds. It is bordered to the north by Kaiserdamm, to the west by the Ringbahn, to the south by the Stadtbahn and to the east by Suarzstrasse.
Wedding is the former working-class district of Berlin. One automatically associates this with gray and dreary tenements and with little greenery. But if you look closely, you will be surprised, because Wedding offers its residents beautiful parks, such as the Schillerpark, which are visited today not only by the Weddingern with pleasure.
Botanischer Garten Berlin - that's 43 hectares, about 22,000 different plant species, huge greenhouses and fantastic paths to walk along, pure relaxation and a botanical journey around the world with short distances.
Berlin is greener than you might think. This is due to the countless parks and green spaces that can be found throughout the city. We took a closer look at the Volkspark Rehberge in Wedding.
In the district of Charlottenburg stands one of the most beautiful palaces in Berlin. We took a little walk around the palace and enjoyed the beautiful weather in the palace park.
Berlin also has mountains, you might hardly believe it. Besides the most famous mountain, the Teufelsberg, there is the Hahneberg in the district of Spandau.
Directly opposite the Prenzlauer Allee S-Bahn station is the Zeiss Grossplanetarium. I walked past here for almost a year when I went to one of my numerous children's sports classes and never discovered the Ernst Thälmann Park behind it.
For me, one of the perfect places to relax in any season is the Volkspark Jungfernheide in Siemensstadt. Not only do you find quiet corners here, but the experience factor is also taken care of.
I came across the Moabit Cellular Prison History Park by chance. Since I had never heard of it before, it was clear that I really wanted to discover this place.
I don't know any big city that has as many green spaces, parks and forests as Berlin. Not only on the outskirts, but also in the city centre you can find beautiful recreational areas, such as Volkspark Friedrichshain.
The Pfaueninsel is located in the Havel in the south-west of Berlin. Since 1990, it has been listed on the list of UNESCO as World Cultural Heritage and is managed by the Stiftung Preußischer Schlösser und Gärten Berlin-Brandenburg – a foundation for cultural property and parks in Berlin and Brandenburg.
Not so long ago in the year 1969, a wondrous amusement park opened in East Berlin. It was called Spreepark Berlin and it remained open until 2002.
