  • 1. Neuer See

    Shimmering in a mysterious emerald green, the largest lake in Tiergarten is perfect for rowing. Afterwards you can recover in the Café am Neuen See.

  • 2. Löwenbrücke

    The Lion Bridge, which leads across a small stream near Neuer See, is “suspended” from the sculptures of four lions. This idyllic spot is a favourite meeting point for gays in Berlin.

  • 3. Lortzing-Denkmal

    There are 70 statues of philosophers, poets and statesmen in Tiergarten. The statue of the composer Lortzing, at one end of Neuer See, is one of the most beautiful.

  • 4. Houseboats

    Docked on the banks of the Spree are some of the remaining few houseboats in Berlin – an idyllic haven in the middle of the city.

  • 5. Carillon

    The carillon , officially dedicated in 1987, is the largest of its kind in Europe. The 68 bells are rung every day at noon and 6pm in the 42-m (138-ft) high black tower.

  • 6. Englischer Garten

    The landscaped English-style garden near Schloss Bellevue is ideal for strolling.

  • 7. Estonian Embassy

    The old Estonian Embassy, in a quiet side street next to the ruined Greek Embassy, is characteristic of the diplomats’ quarter.

  • 8. Locks

    The two canal locks behind the zoo, taking visitors across the dammed Landwehrkanal, are popular resting places.

  • 9. Gaslights in Tiergarten

    With 80 historic gaslights along the paths, an evening stroll in Tiergarten is very romantic.

  • 10. Landwehrkanal

    The sloping, grass-covered banks of Landwehrkanal are ideal spots to chill out.
