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.

In the city’s Spandau neighbourhood lies Tiefwerder, a stunning part of Berlin, filled with meadows and canals. It is a lovely romantic escape that can be reached by public transport. Once there, couples can hire a canoe and explore Spandau’s ‘Little Venice’, soaking in the greenery and romance along the River Havel.

Museum Island

Museum Island might be one of the city’s main tourist attractions, but it’s also filled with other timeless architecture, lush green spaces and a sense of romance. Walking along the bridge past the Bode Museum, you’ll be serenaded by a man playing the accordion. Wandering the island’s museums and galleries will have you immersed in some of the city’s best art, and spending the afternoon lazing by the island’s bank will give you some of the best views of the city. All in all, it’s a great place to have a date.
