2. escape the winter in the tropical house
While the trees are bare outside, you can’t get enough of the lush green variety in the Tropical House at the Botanical Garden in Berlin. A fascinating selection of tropical plants awaits you in the heated greenhouses. In no time at all, you’ll forget the cold outside and find yourself in a faraway tropical paradise.
3. feasting and browsing
Foodies can really get into their element in Berlin’s market halls. An impressive selection of international street food and Bavarian cuisine – everything your heart desires. Our favorites include the Arminius Markthalle in Moabit and Markthalle IX in Kreuzberg. Here you can not only feast, but also enjoy the colorful hustle and bustle and the unique atmosphere.
4. winter sports
What can’t be missed after so much indulgence? Right, a bit of exercise is always good. In winter, curling is an excellent winter sport that is great fun. You can discover various curling rinks on Friedrichstraße, at Alexanderplatz and at the main railway station. So, dress warmly and let the best one win!
5. visit Peacock Island
Idyllic and fairytale-like – Peacock Island is transformed into a winter wonderland during the cold season when it is covered in snow. It is a World Heritage Site and a listed building. Cars and bicycles are not allowed so that the idyll is not disturbed. A short visit is definitely worthwhile!
