Spring has arrived in Berlin! It doesn’t just bring warmer weather and longer days. Berlin’s cherry blossoms are also starting to sprout in the most beautiful shades of light pink and are declaring war on the notorious gray winter. Just like in Japan, admiring the cherry trees is a real event in Berlin, so grab everything you need for a good picnic and make yourself comfortable under the beautiful trees: we show you the six best places in Berlin to celebrate spring.
1st TV Asahi Kirschblütenallee
Right next to the Berlin Wall Trail, where the Wall once stood, is now a path where both tourists and Berliners like to stroll and pass the time. And between Lichterfelder Allee and Japan Eck, you can marvel at countless cherry blossom trees. The trees are so close together that they form a blanket of cherry blossoms.
📍 Location: Mauerweg, 14513 Teltow
2. at the Zeiss Planetarium
You will also find a few cherry trees on an offshoot of Ernst-Thälmann-Park. Some of the beautiful trees can be found right in front of the planetarium, which you can see from the adjacent meadow. Insider tip: While you’re here, visit the planetarium, where you can gaze at distant galaxies through a telescope.
📍 Location: Prenzlauer Allee 80, 10405 Berlin, Germany
3rd bank in Treptow
White and pink cherry blossom trees line the riverbank in the direction of Treptower Park. Here you can escape the hustle and bustle of Neukölln and suddenly find yourself in the middle of nature. A little peace and quiet, blossoms and lots of greenery – relaxation can happen so quickly.
📍 Location: Treptower Park, 12435 Berlin
4th Schwedter Straße
If you want to marvel at the cherry blossoms near Mauerpark, you might as well take this tip with you. Because Schwedter Straße is home to a veritable splendor of cherry blossom trees. And with the TV tower in the background, it makes for a great picture!
📍 Location: Schwedter Str., 13355 Berlin
5th cherry blossom path
Nearby you will also find the cherry blossom path, not far from the Bösebrücke. It stretches for several hundred meters right next to an allotment garden, which only adds to the idyllic atmosphere.

6th sea of cherry blossoms in Schöneberg
