Tempelhofer Feld

4.6 ·

Explore Tempelhofer Feld, Berlin's former airport turned open-air playground. Bike or skate down old runways, kite-surf across the grass, or picnic on taxiways spread over one of the world's largest urban green spaces.

✨

Reasons to go

  • The park occupies the runways and taxiways of the former Tempelhof Airport, left largely intact rather than demolished.
  • At roughly 300 hectares, it's one of the largest urban open spaces in the world, far exceeding typical city parks.
  • Its flat, open runways make it a hotspot for land-based kite-surfing, a rare urban activity.
📖

Full description

Tempelhofer Feld occupies the vast former Tempelhof Airport, its historic runways and taxiways left largely intact and repurposed as a public park where Berliners bike, skate, kite-surf on land, and picnic across an area far larger than most city parks. The sheer scale surprises first-time visitors, and its flat, paved-and-grass mix makes it equally suited to a leisurely walk or a serious ride.

A 4.6 rating from nearly 30,000 reviews and a near-perfect must-see score confirm it as one of Berlin's defining modern landmarks.

Reviews

I was sad I was not able to spend more time at this awesome park in Berlin. As I rode my bike around, I was in awe of the magnitude of this park. It was enormous and there was barely any people. It began to rain really hard and I had to leave as there wasn’t anywhere for me to hide and get out of the rain.
