Berlin Sights

  1. Berliner Zoo & Aquarium

    The Zoologischer Garten is Germany's oldest zoo. It is located in the southwest corner of the Tiergarten, Berlin's green lung, which began life as a hunting ground for the Great Elector, Friedrich Wilhelm (who ruled from 1640-88) and was turned into a park in the 18th century. Around 14,000 animals representing 1500 species roam the grounds.

  3. Sea Life Berlin

    Pricey but entertaining, this aquarium follows the Spree River into the North Atlantic, introducing you to various aquatic denizens along the way. Visits conclude with a glacial lift ride through the Aquadom, a 16m-tall cylindrical tropical fish tank. Catch a free preview from the lobby of the Radisson SAS Hotel.

  4. Volkspark

    Berlin's oldest public park (since 1840) provides treasured relief from urbanity. Besides expansive lawns, it has playgrounds, tennis courts, a free half-pipe for skaters, the adorable Märchenbrunnen (Fairytale Fountain; popular with gay cruisers) and various socialist monuments. Its two hills are actually piles of wartime debris; the taller one is nicknamed Mont Klamott. Summer events include a popular outdoor film series.
