Tiergarten Park is the largest urban park in Berlin. It also has the advantage of being centrally located close to many popular attractions. As such, it is easy to get to and a great place to enjoy a reprieve from the bustling city.

The former royal hunting grounds were originally designated as a public park in the late 1600s. The current features of the park were designed by Prussian landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné between the years 1833 and 1838.

The 519 acre park is covered with mixed forests and some open lawns. There is not much in the way of old growth forest, as much of original forest was harvested for fuel at the end of WWII.

The River Spree touches the northern portion of the park adding more diversity to this impressive green space.

Perhaps one of the nicest features are the bodies of water within the park. The largest is Tiergartengewässer, a river with three narrow arms radiating in three directions from central portion of the park.

The paths through Tiegarten Park are great for enjoying a stroll, bike ride or inline skate. The open lawn areas are perfect for enjoying a picnic, playing ball, or just soaking up the sun.

During the summer, every Sunday at 3pm visitors to the park are likely to hear a bell concert played by 68 bells in the world's largest carillon. The bell tower is located at Haus der Kulturen der Welt – arts venue and cultural centre located in the northeast edge of the park.

Another neat feature is the open air gas lantern exhibit. These old gas lanterns that used to light the city streets at night are lit at dusk to illuminated the paths near the Tiergarten S-Bahn station.

Attractions located in or close to Tiergarten Park include the Soviet War Memorial, Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Victory Column, Aquarium Berlin, Zoo Berlin, The Reichstag Building, Brandenburg Gate, and The House of World Cultures.

Tiergarten Park Reviews

Rated 4.6 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating Grocer Tiergarten Berlin, which is one of the largest zoos in the city, is known as the main attraction of Berlin. The garden was originally a royal hunting ground where deer, wild boar and other game were kept. Covering an abundance of beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers, the Tiergarten spans 210 hectares and is a great place for relaxing, walking and boating. This park contains many statues and monuments. Among these buildings, we can mention the statue of Queen Louise built in 1880 and the monument built in 1849 for Frederick Wilhelm III. Do not miss visiting this garden

4 Star Rating This is a beautiful and big park! I had a great power walk through and didn't cover it all. Nice wide and flat trails and beautiful nature. You can even get away from the noise of the city and cars which is impressive! There are different statues throughout and lots of smaller trails to discover. It's beautiful with some water and lakes too. Would be good to have some free public toilets! 🚻

5 Star Rating Everyone that visits Berlin should walk through Tiergarten Park. It’s right next to Brandenburg gate. My husband and I walked through from Brandenburg Gate to the Victory Column. It was a long walk but well worth it. This park is beautiful, well maintained, and safe. We saw families, young children, dogs, runners. It was the perfect time of year because the leaves had just started changing. Such a beautiful park! Just a note, there isn’t a tram stop at the victory column so you may need to catch a taxi or Uber or walk back through the park. There are public (free) bathrooms at the victory column.
