Top10 List: Park BBQs
Summer 2020 - Currently, BBQs are only allowed under strict regulations. It is advisable to inform yourself shortly before you go for a BBQ in the park.
Anyway: which is the nicest park for a BBQ? These are just two questions that the team of Top10 Berlin has researched for you, since sunny weather is synonymous to many Berliners with BBQ. If you don't have a garden or a balcony and feel like doing a BBQ session with some friends, often repairs to a park for some sizzling fun. Luckily there are the official barbecue places in Berlin. That's good to know, but there are still massive differences in terms of cleanliness, condition of the lawn and barbecue the BBQ crowd itself. Not to be forgotten - Where's the next restroom? An integral part of a nice BBQ are also a cool beer or two - which will inevitably make you want to powder your nose after a little while. The team of Top10 Berlin wishes all of you a smaching BBQ season. Attention: The individual district offices of Berlin are in charge of licensing BBQ areas, and they may even revoke the status at short notice. Please pay attention to the signs in your BBQ spot!
