Festivals, markets and concerts
As Easter always falls on the Sunday after the first spring full moon, this year the holiday will fall at the end of March. Very optimistically, the family celebration will then take place in fine weather and you can use the long weekend to visit one of the many spring festivals and Easter markets in Berlin together, sit together over Easter breakfast and stand around the Easter bonfire.
We particularly recommend the "Ab ins B!" campaign weeks, which give you the chance to experience Berlin outside the tourist locations and mega-events.
You can find more great tips for the Easter weekend in our events calendar.
For excursions into the surrounding area, use our new sanssouci + day ticket, which connects most of the palaces and gardens:
