A Fairytale Tour Of Berlin's Magical Botanical Gardens

Those in need of a breath of fresh air can escape to the Berlin-Dahlem Botanical Garden and Museum, a natural wonderland with an area of 43 hectares and around 22 thousand different plant species. Join us as we step inside these magical glass houses containing flora from around the world.

The wonderful plants are arranged in species found in different regions across the globe, from the fynbos of South Africa to the cool, comforts of the tropical rainforests; the exotic botany of the far east, to the cacti of the Americas, all housed under magnificent, glass greenhouses.

The tropical greenhouse was built in 1907. It is 25 metres high and has an area of 1,700 square metres, making it one of the largest in the world. It is also an impressive example of 19th century glass and steel architecture.

When you walk inside you’ll be transported to the rainforest, as you feel the humid air on your skin and move through walkways, bursting with gigantic palm trees, climbing plants and lianas.

After exploring the plant kingdoms, there are about 3,000 hectares of land and an outdoor garden with massive trees to roam through. There is also a beautiful lake where you can relax nearby.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
