Your autumn in Berlin

Golden leaves and autumn sunshine: enjoy cosy cafés, charming neighbourhoods and relaxing outings into the countryside. And it’s that time of year again for cultural experiences. Visit the spectacular special exhibition ‘Genghis Khan and the World of the Mongols’ on Museum Island. In the evening, immerse yourself in the world of the stage and catch captivating performances in cabarets, concert halls and theatres.

But evening strolls through the city are also well worth it: enjoy Berlin’s biggest autumn highlight – the Festival of Lights 2026 transforms architectural landmarks across the city into artistic, colourful light installations.

Tips for outdoor activities

Those who want to breathe in the fresh autumn air can simply get on their bike and ride away: out of the centre, into the neighbourhoods! Explore the vast parks and gardens and tranquil paths by the water. And of course you can make lots of discoveries, for example on the Berlin Wall Trail ...take a look at our recommended routes.

Our tip for a long romantic walk in the middle of the city: the Charlottenburg Palace Garden.

Discover an autumnal landscape with tall old trees and a playful interplay of meadows, ponds and hidden squares. Stroll further into the beautiful baroque garden and then admire the rich interior of the Prussian palace.
