There's more to do in Berlin now than there's been since the 'hard' spring lockdown, including leaving the shops open in Berlin open (this time). This article shows you activities in Berlin, which are still possible; including a number of places where you can eat outside and get a coffee to go.

Britzer Garten in Berlin

The Britzer Garten is a large park in the south of Berlin, named after Britz. Especially now it is very recommendable, as it is a little further of than other parks ;). The park offers nature and garden architecture like rose garden and rhododendron woods, playgrounds, lakes and hills as well as multicolored flower patches, perfekt for a walk to calm yourself from the week. In the garden you will find a "Café am See" and "Britzer Museumsbahn" railroad, which runs on a narrow-gauge track through the garden.

Gärten der Welt

One of the best things to do in Berlin during corona is - for me - to escape the city at the weekend. The Chinese Garden, located in the Gardens of the World, is one of those places in Berlin. It is designed in the style of classical Chinese scholarly gardens and strives for a balanced relationship between the ‘seven elements’, earth, sky, water, stones, buildings, living beings and plants. In addition to several bridges, walls and fantastically shaped Taihu stones, the Chinese Tea House, the ‘Berghaus zum Osmanthussaft’, is one of the special features of this garden. It can be reached via winding riverside paths and a bridge.

Lovely thing to do in Berlin

Zoo Berlin is Germany’s oldest zoological garden and home to over 18,000 animals. With 1,400 species the zoo is one of the species-rich parks of the world. Here you find elephants, giraffes, gorillas, and Germany’s only giant pandas. It also offers a big adventure playground with chain bridge, slips and climbing castle and a fantastic petting farm ‚Hans im Glück’. In the zoo you have a lot of distraction from the city life and corona. Have fun!
