Top 10 Hidden Treasures
-
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.
