The city´s biggest playing ground
Tempelhofer Park
Why locals love it
For a long time this huge area in central Berlin has been an airport. Some years ago locals voted in a referendum to stop plane traffic. In 2010 the so-called Tempelhofer Feld was opened as a park and ever since has been a paradise for barbecue parties, kite-flyers and cyclists. The park is opened when the sun rises and closed when it sets.
Why you should visit it
Seen enough of the city? Fed up with all the people and the noise? Come here and enjoy a feeling of freedom and open skies like nowhere else in Berlin! By walking across the huge area you will run into all kinds of surprises: From remainders of old airport technology to protected areas, where rare birds are nesting in the fields.
Special tip
If you´re equipped with a bike, you can do a round course of the area. Even without stopping on the way doing a full circle can take you half an hour.
