When Berlin is covered in snow, the city slows down and shines in quiet beauty. Parks, riversides, and wide open fields become perfect places to breathe, walk, and enjoy winter’s calm side. Here are the best winter walks to explore after snowfall.
The Tiergarten turns into a fairytale forest after snow. Tall trees, quiet paths, and frozen ponds make it magical. Start near the Brandenburg Gate and walk toward the Victory Column to enjoy a peaceful Berlin winter scene.
Tip: Go early in the morning – you’ll hear only the crunch of snow and the soft sounds of birds.
After a fresh snowfall, the Märchenbrunnen (Fairy Tale Fountain) looks enchanting. Locals come here for sledding and short walks. The hills give you small views over the white trees and city rooftops.
The old airfield becomes a white plain after snow. Walk along the former runways and enjoy the open sky. You’ll see people walking dogs, taking photos, or simply enjoying the winter light.
The Landwehr Canal is peaceful in winter. You can walk from Kreuzberg to Charlottenburg, passing bridges and cafés with snow-covered terraces. It’s one of Berlin’s most relaxing routes after snow.
The palace garden covered in snow feels timeless. The baroque buildings shine softly in the white landscape – perfect for photos or a slow afternoon walk.
Tip: Before going out, check checkwetter.de for temperature and ice warnings. Stay warm and walk safely.
Walking through Berlin after snow is like discovering a new city – calm, gentle, and full of light. Put on warm shoes, take your time, and enjoy how the snow turns everyday Berlin into something magical.
