Berlin – Green Oasis
More than 2,500 parks and gardens make Berlin a truly green oasis. One of the most attractive spots in the capital is certainly the Britzer Garten. With extensive lakes, spacious lawns, numerous groves of trees, and spectacular shows put on by the flowers, the garden offers pure relaxation, but also a play paradise for children. The Gärten der Welt (gardens of the world) in Marzahn brings together exceptional horticulture from Asia and Europe. The Tiergarten is a city park in the immediate vicinity of the Brandenburg Gate that offers 210 hectares perfect for a refreshing stroll under the shades of the trees. The green side of Berlin is also characterised by projects like Himmelbeet, where people come together to grow fruit and vegetables. Urban gardening is not just an outdoor trend, as can be seen at InFarm in Berlin´s district Kreuzberg. This indoor farming specialist grows plants and herbs in its 310 qm greenhouse for sale to various Berlin restaurants.Please find further information on: www.visitberlin.de/en/berlin-nature

Keep yourself active

There are plenty of opportunities to keep active outdoors in one of Berlin’s many parks, along the banks of the Spree or canals, or in one of the many sports facilities.
Rollerblade on the spacious Tempelhof Field, exploring the beautiful sights of Berlin by bicycle, jog in the Tiergarten (Berlin’s largest park) or climb the 19-meter-high bunker in Friedrichshain – the choice of outdoor sports is huge. Sporty visitors to the capital can even be active on the water. People sail their motor and sail boats well into the autumn, and head for the Wannsee, Havel or Spree along with surfers and kayakers.
