1. Tempelhofer Feld

Historical Landmark

A classic excursion for any trip to Berlin, Templehofer Feld is the former airport of the GDR. Now the abandoned, vast open space is a playground for Berliners, who come to picnic, watch the sunset, cycle, jog and skate. There is also a beautiful community garden in the centre of the field which comes alive in spring and summer. Rent a bike for the full experience or grab a few beers and head to Templehof for a sundowner.

Hamburger Bahnhof

The Hamburger Bahnhof in one of Berlin’s premium museums. Focused on contemporary art by significant artists from Germany and abroad, its architectural setting in an old train station is also a sight to behold.
