The Most Romantic Spots To Take A Date In Berlin

The romance of Berlin is often equated with the Weimar era, when opulence, fine arts movements, and a reputation for decadence flooded the city. The pretty but gritty image that was embedded in the city after the Cold War seems to have stuck, leaving many to align the city with a free-spirited culture, techno and a countercultural flare. However, Berlin is also filled with secret spots and lots of romantic places to take a date or escape to as a couple. Here are the best romantic spots to take a date in Berlin.

Schloss Charlottenburg

It might be a little kitschy, but the gardens of Schloss Charlottenburg are lush, green and seriously romantic. With a beautiful castle in the background, flowers surrounding you and a serenade lake by your side, spending a nice sunny afternoon here will have you swooning.
