Tiergarten
About

Berlin’s Tiergarten is a vast urban park that blends history, nature, and culture in the heart of the city. Originally a royal hunting ground in the 16th century, it was transformed into a public park in the 18th century and redesigned in the 1830s by landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné. Today, Tiergarten spans over 210 hectares, offering tree-lined paths, tranquil lakes, and open lawns ideal for relaxation and recreation. The park is home to iconic landmarks such as the Victory Column, the Soviet War Memorial, and the Global Stone peace project. Nearby, visitors can explore the Berlin Zoo, Bellevue Palace, and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Tiergarten also holds poignant memorials, including those dedicated to victims of the Holocaust and political persecution. Whether for a quiet stroll, a picnic, or cultural exploration, Tiergarten remains a central and symbolic green space that reflects Berlin’s layered past and vibrant present.

Location

Tiergarten is Berlin’s iconic inner-city park, stretching across approximately 210 hectares in the heart of the city within the Mitte district. Its central position places it just west of Brandenburg Gate and close to major attractions like Potsdamer Platz and the government quarter. The park’s boundaries are defined by important city arteries, with the Spree River along the northern edge and renowned streets such as Straße des 17. Juni running through its center. Within Tiergarten, you’ll encounter highlights such as the Berlin Zoological Garden and Aquarium in the southwestern corner, the grand Victory Column (Siegessäule) at the central Großer Stern, and the historical Bellevue Palace, residence of the German President, to the northwest. The area also features monuments like the Soviet War Memorial, Goethe Monument, and Bismarck Memorial. Immediately surrounding Tiergarten, visitors will find the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag (German Parliament), the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Haus der Kulturen der Welt cultural center, and the vibrant Potsdamer Platz with shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The park is easily reached via public transport, including the S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations nearby, making it both a tranquil escape and a central starting point for exploring Berlin’s most significant landmarks and cultural institutions.
