Parks in Berlin

The Tiergarten is Berlin's 210-hectare central park, stretching from the Brandenburg Gate to the Berlin Zoo. A former royal hunting ground since the 16th century, it was redesigned by Peter Joseph Lenné in the 1830s as an English landscape park.

Tempelhofer Feld is the decommissioned Tempelhof Airport — now a vast, car-free public park where Berliners cycle the runways, fly kites on the taxiways, and tend community gardens in the grass margins.

Viktoriapark crowns the Kreuzberg hill — the highest natural point in inner-city Berlin at 66 m. At its summit stands Schinkel's 1821 cast-iron war monument; down its north face flows a 24 m artificial waterfall.

Treptower Park is a Spree-side park in south-east Berlin, best known for the monumental Soviet War Memorial — one of the largest and most dramatic WWII memorials in Europe.

Gärten der Welt (Gardens of the World) in Marzahn-Hellersdorf showcases themed landscape gardens from different continents, expanded for the 2017 International Garden Exhibition (IGA) with a cable car and new attractions.
