Everyday stress, the hustle and bustle of the big city, and the summer heat are a tough combination! If you need a break, head south (well, okay, out of Berlin). In Neukölln , the Britzer Garten awaits —one of the city’s largest and most beautiful green spaces. Lakes, streams, meadows, and themed gardens are perfect for unwinding, taking a deep breath, and relaxing.
For an extra dose of relaxation, the Pausenfestival—with the motto “A Break from Berlin. In Berlin.” —invites you to enjoy a relaxing summer day at Britzer Garten on July 5 .
Here are the activities awaiting you at the free festival “A Break from Berlin. In Berlin.”

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. , youcan look forward to a free program for all age groups . Find out and do whatever helps you unwind best, and discover free activities like yoga, Pilates, tai chi, or qi gong —plus a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by greenery.
After a magical sound bath and a relaxing exploration tour on a raft, you’ll be back to zero—even after the most intense stress. And while you unwind, relaxing live music in the park provides the perfect backdrop.
There’s also plenty for kids to do at the Pausenfestival

There’s something for the kids, too! At the kids’ Kneipp session, warm and cold alternating baths gently stimulate circulation. Afterward, it’s time to walk barefoot along the adventure trail!
For kids, the Britzer Garten is generally a real paradise. Whether they want to let off steam, relax, or play—with water play areas, animal enclosures featuring goats and sheep, and a model boat harbor where miniature boats cruise around—they’ll never get bored.
The Britzer Garten is a natural paradise spanning 90 hectares

While admission to the festival is free, the Britzer Garten normally charges a €5 entrance fee for adults. Fair, in our opinion. Not only is the park super clean, but you’ll also come across little surprises everywhere in the Britzer Garten —from the Kalenderplatz with its sundial to beehives, artistic sculptures, and even a historic windmill!
Treat yourself to a one-day wellness getaway right on your doorstep on July 5. At “Pause from Berlin. In Berlin,” you can leave the hectic pace of city life behind and unwind at Britzer Garten.
