Gardens of the World: World Tour in Marzahn

You don’t always need a flight for a trip to foreign landscapes. The Gardens of the World were opened in 1987 as the Berlin Garden Show and now comprise over 20 country and theme gardens. These include one of the largest Chinese gardens in Europe, a classical Japanese garden, a tropical garden based on a Balinese model, as well as an Oriental and a Korean garden.

The culinary offerings are also international. Tea ceremonies take place in the Chinese Teahouse, and tea and pastries are available in the English Cottage. The grounds also feature an open-air stage, a water feature with fountains, playgrounds, and sunbathing lawns. If you’ve planned more time in nature, you can spend a whole day here without leaving Berlin.

Cable Car, Kienberg, and Open-Air Concerts

The cable car runs from the Kienberg subway station over the Kienberg to the Blumberger Damm entrance. From the cabins, the view extends over the garden grounds to the center of Berlin. The arena regularly hosts concerts, from classical to pop.

The park is open year-round from 9 AM until dusk; some theme gardens close in winter. During the summer season, a day ticket costs 9 Euros, or 12.90 Euros with the cable car. Children up to and including five years old have free admission.
