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.
