Berlin for children – 4-7 years

Open-mouthed and wide-eyed: When you visit Berlin with children it won’t just be the little ones who gaze about in wonder. In addition to the many sights and attractions, the capital – one of the greenest metropolitan cities in the world – is very family-friendly. There are parks and gardens in almost every part of the city where adults can rest and relax while children can have fun. And Berlin is never boring, even if the weather is bad. A visit to one of the child-friendly museums is always worthwhile.

Seeing Berlin through children’s eyes: the most suitable places of interest

Experience the best side of Berlin and take the kids on a boat ride through the historical centre of the capital. From the boat you’ll have a breathtaking view of Berlin Cathedral, Museum Island, the Reichstag, the Bundeskanzleramt (German Chancellery) and the Central Station. Afterwards, you can venture onwards to Brandenburg Gate once more or to Charlottenburg Palace, feeling well rested from the ride.

Bread and games: family-friendly parks and gardens

Berlin is one of the greenest metropolitan cities in the world, making it perfect for a family picnic. Treat yourself to a break from the fast pace of the big city and unwind in one of the many parks in the inner city – or play a round of catch with your child. Unique parks like Tempelhofer Feld or Treptower Park await your visit.
