Pocket Guide: Romantic Berlin Hotels

Although not one of Europe’s most obvious romantic getaways, Berlin has much to offer those looking for a special getaway with a significant other. Steeped in history, culture and alternative experiences, Berlin is a great option for couples looking for somewhere a bit different. What’s more, visitors have access to plenty of public transport, making it an easy city to get around.

Romantic Hotels in Berlin

Over the years Berlin has grown in popularity for travellers and hotels have responded by continually upping their game. For couples, this could mean a luxurious hotel room with views out over Alexanderplatz; a boutique hotel situated in one of the city’s quirky neighbourhoods; or an upmarket hostel to satisfy the budget-conscious travellers. 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.
