Britzer Garten

A green oasis in the urban jungle.

In the heart of Berlin, you will find a vibrant park with lakes, seas of flowers and artworks set amongst the countryside. Britzer Garten is the perfect place to take a deep breath, explore and enjoy yourself, whatever the season.

Britzer Garten is a green oasis in the south of Berlin, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. Since its creation for the Federal Garden Show in 1985, the approximately 90-hectare park has delighted visitors with its varied landscape of hills, meadows and a ten-hectare lake. Among colourful flower beds, sculptures, cafés and quiet spots, Berliners and visitors alike find relaxation, inspiration and enjoyment of nature.

A green world opens up in the middle of Berlin: here you will find peace, space and nature, a place to take a deep breath and leave the big city behind. The extensive park invites you to take walks, have picnics and make discoveries.

At the heart of the park, a ten-hectare lake glistens, nestled between rolling hills and wide meadows. All around , you will discover flower groves, open-air works of art and a Kneipp health trail. If you're looking for a break, enjoy the view of the greenery in the lovingly designed restaurants. A rose garden, Karl Foerster perennial garden, playgrounds, animal enclosures and a model boat harbour make Britzer Garten a place where nature, art and leisure flow together harmoniously.

A sea of flowers in every season

Britzer Garten unfolds new colours in every season. In spring, Tulipan attracts visitors with thousands of tulips in all shapes and colours, a paradise for photography enthusiasts. When the rhododendrons and azaleas bloom in May, the park is transformed into a fragrant sea of flowers. In autumn, the dahlia fire glows: countless dahlias display their full splendour across 2,200 square metres, a finale in red, yellow and purple.

Experiences for families and children

For families, Britzer Garten is an adventure land. Children can romp around on large playgrounds, roll around on the lawns or picnic by the lake. Donkeys, sheep and goats await in the animal enclosure , and in summer the new water maze provides splashing fun. The historic Britzer Mill is also worth a visit, where you can learn how flour used to be ground. A colourful programme of events with park festivals, music and activities for the whole family rounds off the outing.

Whether nature, culture or family fun, in Britzer Garten you will discover Berlin from its quiet, green side. A place to experience the city in a different way: relaxed, colourful and in the middle of life.
