Tiergarten

Free

Tiergarten stretches through the heart of Berlin as the city's largest and most iconic park, its name recalling its origins as a royal hunting ground before it was transformed into landscaped grounds in the 18th and 19th centuries. The gilded Victory Column rises from its center along the Straße des 17. Juni, while wide avenues, ponds, and dense woodland make it a genuine escape within walking distance of the Bundestag and Brandenburg Gate. Its top-tier must-see and culture scores mark it as essential Berlin, not just a park to pass through.
