The Blossoming District

Neukölln is colourful. One colour stands out in particular: green. Trees, garden beds and flowers can be found almost everywhere. From north to south, numerous small gardens, large parks and spacious green areas are spread throughout Neukölln. They are ideally suited for city dwellers to chill out in. But of course, any visitor to Berlin should absolutely also visit these urban oases as well.

Resting at the molehill

Throughout the year, workshops, festivals and concerts take place at Britzer Garten. Special events such as the tulip and dahlia shows are very popular. For those who would rather not discover the spacious gardens on foot, a small train guarantees a comfortable ride through the entire park. Afterwards, the Restaurant Seeterrassen, reminiscent of an oversized molehill, invites visitors to take a relaxing break.
