Spandau

Located in the heart of Spandau, between Askanierring and Hohenzollernring, lies one of the district's most versatile playgrounds. Climbing, kicking, sliding, chilling: The playground at Falkenhagener Tor offers children of all ages true freedom to play and explore.

At the edge of Spandau's Old Town, Beyzade Restaurant serves Turkish grill classics and its own charcoal grill creations, along with Pide, Lahmacun, and its own breakfast.

Behind the brick facade of a former Schultheiss brewery on the Spandauer See lies a spa and sports club of 3,500 square metres across two floors. It holds a 25 metre pool, a fun pool with whirlpool, five saunas, an Ottoman steam bath, an ice igloo and a roof terrace with a log cabin sauna and a rooftop bar over the water.

On the top floor of the Spandau Arcaden lies a day spa with a forty metre pool that runs from the indoor area into the open air, a roof terrace of around 600 square metres and three whirlpools. There are also eight saunas and steam baths, a Kneipp pool and a plunge pool as well as a dedicated area for massages and cosmetics.

The family café Mi Mundo in Berlin-Spandau, specifically in Staaken, is the children's café in western Berlin that allows parents to relax and children to play freely. Home-baked waffles, a well-designed room concept without sharp edges, and a garden with an adventure ship make this place a reliable address for families.

The Spandau Arcaden are located about twenty meters from Berlin-Spandau train station, making them the best-connected shopping center in western Berlin. Across four levels, there are approximately 125 shops and over fifteen catering establishments. On the roof, there's a Meridian Spa with saunas and a pool, and inside the building, there's a bowling alley.

Wellness without travel stress: The centrovital in the brick building of the former Schultheiss brewery offers a spa, six saunas, and pools directly on Spandau Lake. From the room to the lakeside path, the whole experience feels more like a short getaway than being in Berlin.

KAFFEE 26 on Jüdenstraße, in the heart of Spandau's Old Town, is one of Berlin's most charming cafés, serving organic matcha teas and homemade cakes among genuine antiques. For those seeking matcha in Berlin away from the mainstream, this offers a pleasantly calm alternative to the hype.

Directly at the Spandau lock, opposite the Citadel, lies one of Berlin's most central boat rental services. The Altstadthafen Berlin-Spandau is the starting point for tours on both the Havel and Spree, with a fleet ranging from cozy pedal boats to fully equipped houseboats.

This beautiful excursion area leads along tree-lined paths with views of the lake landscape. There is a beach where dogs are allowed in the water.
