Long weekends mean it's time to head to Berlin!
Spring is just around the corner, the days are getting longer and the sun is gaining strength. In Berlin, life awakens on the terraces of cafés and restaurants, while gardens and parks are in full bloom. What is Berlin like in spring? Discover the many possibilities the city has to offer at this time of year.
A particular highlight every year is the cherry blossom in Berlin: during this time, the city becomes a hanami backdrop with photogenic spots in the Gardens of the World on Bornholmer Strasse and many other places.

Last but not least, spring offers the best opportunities for a short break – from Easter in Berlin to long weekends. We'll show you how to make the most of the 2026 public holidays and bridge days for a short break in Berlin.
