Whatever your preference, the city will have somewhere for you and your loved one to lay your head for the night.

Romantic Activities in Berlin

Start your visit in Germany’s capital with a tour of the Berlin Wall. Although existing under tragic circumstances, what is left of the Wall is now an incredible outdoor gallery (it is in fact the longest open-air gallery in the world) and a wonderful tribute to this significant part of history.

Delve even further into Berlin’s past with a trip to the very fascinating Berliner Unterwelten Museum (Berlin Underworld Museum), a labyrinth of old bunkers and channel systems that existed during the Cold War, World War II and Berlin Wall.

If you and your partner enjoy zoos then the Berlin Zoo, one of Europe’s most impressive zoos, is a must. Spanning 33 hectares and housing over 20,000 animals and over 1,500 species, you could easily spend a whole day taking in its wide variety of animals.

Impress your loved one with a visit to Berliner Dom Cathedral, one of Berlin’s most remarkable buildings. The cathedral’s exterior and interior is very magical. When outside, make sure to take a moment with your partner to soak up views out over the River Spree and to enjoy the nearby gardens of Berlin Palace and Altes Museum.

Go one step further with a trip to Peacock Island in the southern part of the city. Here you will find Pfaueninsel Palace, an incredible palace that dates back to the late 1700s. This is the perfect setting for a romantic stroll with, of course, the odd peacock gracing you both with its presence.
